Pastor Patrick and Leanne Buckner

The desire to know God and to make Him known is immense within the lives of Patrick and Leanne Buckner. There is a passion and an awakening deep within their hearts to actively live out what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ and to show the community the love of The Savior. Outreach opportunities and vision keep being poured out from the Holy Spirit on both Patrick and Leanne in order to accomplish one ultimate goal which is to point all people in the direction of who God is through living out an everlasting faith, and doing outreach for His Kingdom. For His glory.

She applies her gift of graphic design for fliers and social media posts from her time working at the American Cancer Society in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
