MEET THE TEAM

 
 

Dale Detweiler

Lead Pastor

I have been serving as the lead pastor of Ship Nazarene since May of 2021. Prior to this I was the Associate Pastor for almost 4 years. I am married to Jennifer, and I have 3 adult children, Paige, Lane, Natasha and one grandson, Axel.
I believe God has called me to point people to Jesus - teaching, equipping and empowering people so that they can become part of God’s transforming work in their lives, in their community, in our world. I love interacting with people of all ages but have a special passion for ministry to young adults. Because of this you can often find me on the campus of Shippensburg University.
Outside of ministry, my hobbies include hunting, fishing, being in the outdoors, basketball, volleyball, cornhole, pickleball, and various card games. My favorite time of the year is Fall. 
If you are looking for a church to connect with, I would love to share more with you about Ship Nazarene. You can call or text me at 717 404 8643.

Brady Dieffenbach

Worship coordinator

The Lord called me to Ship Naz in 2023, speaking through the community and welcoming culture. Previously, I was serving as Worship Assistant at The Spring BIC in Chambersburg. As Worship Coordinator, my goal is to invite people into a space of worship that the Lord has already created, encouraging us to be vulnerable through song and testimony. I enjoy playing my guitar, video games, and pickle ball. I love connecting with people— especially my soon to be wife, Emily. Come find me at church, I would love to connect with you!

Jeff Dieffenbach

MINIstry team lead - Grow spiritually

The Lord led me to Ship Naz in 2023. Coming out of a season of rest, I was looking to connect with those who love the Lord, each other, and have vision for what He wants to do. I’m a single parent with 4 adult children Lauren, Alena, Brady, and Sierra. I have 2 grandchildren, Makenna and Camden. I have served the Lord in various capacities including rehab ministry, youth ministry. I also served as worship leader, and as a small group leader. My passion is to see and help people recognize their gifts and abilities that God has given to them. Also to develop a deeper relationship with Jesus through prayer and worship.

jenn detweiler

ministry team lead - serve others

I am married to my best friend, and many of you know him as Pastor Dale, since 1999. I met Dale at work, where I still currently work for almost 34 years now. I am someone who wears many hats at work, but my primary job is TPM (Total Productive Maintenance). We have 3 beautiful adult children between us and 1 grandson; 2 cats (Rajah & Nala) and 1 dog (Braxton) that are all such a joy to have in our lives. Some of my favorite things to do are decorate, take photos, art in general, cooking, baking of course anything that just lets me be creative, and believe it or not I absolutely love to mow! I love most animals and enjoy the outdoors. My favorite time of year fall and a close second winter especially when we have snow.

Jeremy post

Ministry team lead - serve others

I am a pharmacist living in Chambersburg with my wife, Chrysoula, and our three children, Athena, Aithan, and Chloe. In 2013, I felt a clear call from God to missions, and since that time I have led, organized, and participated in numerous mission trips throughout the United States and around the world. I also serve as the Mid-Atlantic District President of Nazarene Missions International. I am excited to step into the role of Co-Serve Team Lead, with Jenn Detweiler, at Shippensburg Church of the Nazarene, because serving others and helping build the Kingdom of God is a core part of my call to missions.

Cassie Dresden

MINIstry team lead - Engage in community

Meet Cassie I became connected to Ship Naz through our daycare, Jack & Jill. From the very first time I walked through the doors of Ship Naz, I knew I was home. Since then, God has given me so many opportunities to serve, including as a Junior Church helper and teacher, a member of the Jack & Jill Daycare Board, and a Ministry Team Lead. I live in Shippensburg with my young daughter, Lenna, and our Maltese, TT. I am passionate about growing our children’s ministry and creating a place where every child and family feels welcomed, loved, and excited to be part of our church. If you’re visiting Ship Naz, please come find me — I’d love to meet you! Come sit by me!

I first started attending Ship Naz in 2022 after going on a mission trip as a college student. I connected with my husband, Hunter, on this trip and we got married in 2023. Now, we live in Chambersburg with our 2 goldendoodles, Honey and Winston, who we love spending time with! In addition to being Media and Events Coordinator, I work as an elementary school counselor in a neighboring district. My favorite hobbies include playing with our dogs, reading, roller skating, cooking, and watching movies. Hunter and I are also involved in the development of New Creation Church of the Nazarene in Chambersburg!
