Senior Pastor

Peter is a Midwest guy at heart having spent his childhood years in Minnesota and a decade in Chicago.  Peter and his wife Cheryl moved to West Chester in 2006 with their three children and have loved living on the east coast and exploring the thousands of things it has to offer.  On his day off, Peter can be spotted roaming around Longwood Gardens or West Chester Borough with camera in hand, looking for that unique photo op.  Peter has a love for teaching and has enjoyed sharing God’s Word with students at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and Wheaton College in Illinois.  But leading the Goshen family into the rich truths in God’s Word through Sunday morning teaching and smaller discipleship groups is his great joy.  Peter has a Ph.D. in New Testament Studies from Trinity College in Bristol, UK, and he’s a graduate of Bethel College and Seminary in Minnesota.  He and Cheryl have been married for 38 years and have three grown children and two grandchildren.
