MEET OUR STAFF

 Rev. Dr. Christopher Doyle 

The Rev. Dr. Christopher Doyle begins service as pastor of our church on May 1, 2023.  He has also been serving Oak Ridge Presbyterian Church since February of 2017.  He has entered into a shared pastoral relationship between these two churches.
 
Rev. Doyle studied in Jerusalem, Israel as both an undergraduate and graduate student.  In 1995, he moved from Jerusalem to Bethlehem where he taught in the local Christian school system and worked at the Bethlehem Bible College. It was in Bethlehem that he met his wife, Hala, and there that both of their sons were born .  Through his work at the Bethlehem Bible College, he began working in refugee ministry and working with the Presbyterian Church, USA. This work led him to a more formal call to ministry, and the family moved to Dubuque, Iowa, in 2005 for him to attend seminary. While studying at seminary, he pastored two small congregations, which soon became three, giving him valuable experience as a Shared Pastor.
 
In 2011, Pastor Chris was called to serve the Union Presbyterian Church in Carneys Point, NJ, until arriving in North Jersey to serve the Oak Ridge and Berkshire Valley Presbyterian Churches.  In May of 2023, he completed service with the Berkshire Valley church and accepted a call from the West Milford Presbyterian Church. 

 West Milford Presbyterian Church is located at 1452 Union Valley Rd., 
Oak Ridge Presbyterian Church is located at 342 Oak Ridge Rd., Oak Ridge; learn about them at www.orpcnj.org.

Pastor Chris will be in the office on Wednesday  & Thursday – 10AM to 4PM – pending any pastoral duties that may take him away during that time.

Jonathan Matthews-Guzmán is a multidisciplinary teaching artist from Memphis, TN, where they grew up attending St. Louis Catholic Church and School. They first joined chorus at Ridgeway High School where they placed high in All West and All State choral conferences. Jonathan's primary discipline, however, is dance, which brought them to New York for their studies at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Their love of music resulted in them minoring in music as well as composing for their classmates' dance pieces, which led to them working as an accompanist for dance classes, which they currently do at NYU and Barnard College. Jonathan sings with The Cecilia Chorus of New York and Cantori New York, and has danced and choreographed with Darrah Carr Dance, ChristinaNoel & The Creature, mishiDance, Valerie Green/Dance Entropy, This is Not a Theatre Company, and BREAKTIME. Their work and studies have taken them abroad to Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance, Toscana Dance HUB, Springboard Danse Montréal, and the International Theatre Festival of Kerala. Jonathan was a 2021 curatorial fellow in dance through SMUSH Gallery in Jersey City, and their writing can be found at Eye on Dance and the Arts, Dance Magazine, and BAC Stories.
