My name is Terry Drost and I am the Lead Pastor of Peckville Assembly of God. I want to personally welcome you to our website! I’m so glad you’re here!

My wife, Becky and I, along with our three children, Tyler, Dylan and Kyle have grown up in Peckville Assembly of God Church. We love northeastern Pennsylvania, especially this great Valley area. We sincerely have the desire to reach our community and beyond the valley!

To tell you a little about me, I’ve been in ministry since 1996 starting as a Youth Pastor while maintaining a full time job in the printing industry. In 2005, my wife and I were blessed to follow my Mom and Dad as lead pastors.

We began ministering at the 545 Keystone Avenue, Peckville campus, and before we knew it, we outgrew that church and found ourselves in need of a larger sanctuary. In 2008, our current facility was completed. We’re so excited about the opportunities the Lord has blessed us with!

My name is Carolyn Drost and I am the church receptionist. I was born and raised by a great Christian family in Montreal, Quebec. I met my husband Tyler while attending Northpoint Bible College. I have been working at PAG since September of 2014. Give me a call or drop by the office and I will be happy to assist you as best I can!

I am the associate pastor at Peckville Assembly of God. I attended Northpoint Bible College where I met my wife Carolyn and received my bachelor’s degree in Biblical Studies. My wife and I returned to Pennsylvania where we feel God has called us to be ministers of the Gospel. I have a passion to see people touched and healed by the miracle working power of the Holy Spirit.

I was born and raised in Pennsylvania, and am originally from Lake Ariel. I gave my life to Christ and was baptized at PAG in 2009 along with my wife Melissa. Shortly after I felt called into ministry and began studying to receive AG credentials. I love spending time with my wife Melissa and my daughter Allison. I have been a part of our staff team since 2012 serving in youth and young adult ministry. I am passionate about seeing young people’s lives changed and to see them grow spiritually.

I joined the ministry team of PAG in the fall of 2010 as the Children’s Ministry Director. I attended Zion Bible College, and received my degree in Biblical Studies with a minor in Christian Education.

Previously I served for many years in a variety of positions including: Educator, Worship Leader, District Fine Arts Adjudicator, Camp Counselor, Christian Education Director. My current role directly oversees KIDZ Street, Pre-K Village, and Nursery Park.  I have a passion for helping kids grow closer to Jesus and to one another. My goal is to help children develop a daily personal relationship with Jesus and to shepherd a deeper understanding of God’s Word.

I was born and raised in Northeastern PA. I graduated  from the State University of NY with a B.S. in Fire Service Administration. Following my retirement from the Commonwealth in 2006 I founded Task Force 1, Inc., now one of the nation’s busiest emergency services training and consulting firms. I serve on the Board of Directors of EMS of Northeastern PA. My career with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania spanned 27 years with two different state agencies within the public safety sector. Additionally I served as Fire Chief in three departments. I am now using that extensive administrative experience at PAG.

My wife Linda and I are the parents of two adult children and love spending time with our grand-kids!  In addition to my administrative duties at PAG, I also serve on the worship team and have been able to go on three missions trip to Central America.

My name is Nate Roche and I am the media director here at PAG. I was raised in the North Pocono area and have attended PAG for my whole life.

I started out volunteering in media two years ago and, along the way, I’ve learned many different facets of media ministry (audio, video, lighting, etc) and in January 2017 I had the privilege of coming on staff full time. I’m so excited to serve and be a part of the wonderful church family that I grew up around! I desire to utilize media to better equip those on their walk with Christ while also bringing the gospel message to those who haven’t heard; whether they’re in the sanctuary or tuning in virtually.
