Evan serves as the Next Gen Pastor at Advance. In this role, he is focused on the growth and discipleship of children and students from Kindergarten through 12th grade.  In short, he is the pastor of the next generation of Christ-followers.

He married his wife, Halle, shortly after graduating from Penn State, and they have one daughter, Lilah.  After a short stint teaching Middle School, God led Evan and his family into vocational ministry where he spent four years serving at another church in the Pittsburgh area in both youth and young adult ministries.  During this time, Evan began to research Acts 29, which led him to a breakfast with Pastor Scott, which turned into this opportunity to serve at Advance.
