Part of the DNA at Manoa is the importance we place on elders and deacons—laypersons—in the life of the church. Exercising all the gifts the Holy Spirit has given us, we seek to empower and equip all “the saints for the work of ministry” (Ephesian 5:12). Our elders and deacons, together with our staff, aim to strategically mobilize the entire congregation to fulfill our mission together.
STAFF
Comprised of employees and *volunteers, our staff is commissioned to provide servant-leadership in designated spheres of ministry at Manoa.
In June 2018, Stefan S. Bomberger was installed as Manoa's eighth pastor. Stefan was born and raised in Greater Philadelphia and received his first call to pastoral ministry in 2004. Prior to his pastorate at Manoa he served as Pastor of Evangelism at Riverside Church in North Lauderdale, Florida, and Covenant Fellowship Church in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania. In South Florida, Stefan also served as Broward County Director for First Priority, overseeing dozens of evangelistic clubs in public schools. Regionally, Stefan serves as a board member of the Delaware County Pastors Network (www.dcpastors.net) and Church Health Coordinator for the EPC, helping other churches in the areas of evangelism and revitalization. Stefan received his Bachelor of Science from Drexel University and Master of Divinity from Southern Seminary. He is married to Sara and has four children; Joanna, Owen, Elisabeth and Isaac.
