Ordination of Our Seminarian

Father Don recently to Huntington, PA on November 5th, 2025, to preach at the Ordination of our Seminarian, Will Robbins!

Will finished his Master of Divinity from PTS (Pittsburgh Theological Seminary) and was serving In the United Church of Christ – The Abbey Reformed UCC where he was Ordained and will serve as Pastor.

A parishioner from the Emmanuel Family, Sharon Janitor and her husband Tom, also attended. Will served as Seminarian at Emmanuel for his Field Education. Will is kind and compassionate, with a deep commitment to our Lord and a strong desire to bring others into a living relationship with God!

You can view the Ordination Ceremony here on Facebook. Father Don delivers the Sermon and Will celebrates Communion.
