Our Wonderful Staff
Our Pastor
Maggie Gillespie became our pastor in April 2018. With a background in Psychology, Educational Testing, and Christian Education, she entered pastoral ministry in response to God’s irresistible grace. She has served local congregations in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Maryland, as well as an ecumenical campus ministry.
In her preaching, Maggie seeks to be a storyteller, guiding people toward a deeper understanding of their lives through the holy scriptures. In her ministry, Maggie works to enrich a sense of community between the congregation and the needs of the larger community.
She is a native of the Chicago area, where much of her family still resides, but has also lived in Texas, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Maryland. She is a graduate of the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana (B.S.), the University of Texas in Austin (Ph.D.), and Lancaster Theological Seminary (M.Div.).
In her recreational time, Maggie is an avid reader and enjoys cooking, biking, and walking. Maggie is married to Kim Hill, a retired lawyer who enjoys golf and carpentry. They have four children and two grandchildren. Together, they enjoy movies and spending time with family.
Our Organist and Music Director
Robert Young is the Director of Music at WPC and Organist. Robert retired in 2015 from a life-time career in church music, followed by substitute organ work on the Eastern Shore for about nine years. It was in March 2024 that Robert began substituting for WPC when Susan Zimmer contracted an illness that prohibited her return. In August 2024, Robert was asked by the Session to remain which he accepted. Robert shares this position with Megan Fenoglietto who directs the Grace Notes Bell Choir.
Robert was a graduate of Westminster Choir College, Princeton, New Jersey. Major study was sacred music underscoring church administration, conducting, voice and organ. Apart from a few interim positions, he has served five churches in New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia. An underlying goal with Robert is the use of music as ministry, to attract community to the support of the church, and to support folk emotionally with the word of God through music both in worship and in the community.
Robert enjoys architecture, landscape design, gardening, soaking in the summer pool, playing Rummikub, Philadelphia Orchestra especially piano concerti and major choral works, choral design, pipe organ and piano repertoire; and, pipe organ design and construction.
