Pastor Bob & Valerie Nash
My wife, Valerie, and I have been married since 1996 and currently live in Jackson, NJ, with four of our children and four boxers. We are also proud parents of five adult children and grandparents to two wonderful grandchildren. As a retired Recon Marine, I bring discipline and leadership to my ministry, while Valerie is deeply passionate about helping women embrace their God-given callings. She serves with Empower, a ministry focused on equipping and encouraging women through leadership training, mentorship, and practical ministry skills. Valerie is also a gifted speaker and teacher who loves connecting with others and helping women grow in their faith. Since 1999, we’ve been dedicated to church planting and redevelopment, driven by our shared vision for creating vibrant, thriving communities of faith. We enjoy serving others together, opening our home to extend hospitality, and taking long road trips—often with a stop at Chick-fil-A along the way. It’s a joy to serve as the senior pastoral couple at Main Street Church, where we’re privileged to lead and love alongside an amazing community of believers.
Pastor Nate & Sarah Bock
We’ve been blessed to make Barnegat, NJ, our home, where we live with our four amazing kids. Since moving here in 2006, we’ve felt God’s purpose guiding our journey. Family is everything to us, and it’s a privilege to help people of all ages and backgrounds encounter Jesus and grow in their love for Him, whether through worship, discipleship, or simply living life together. I serve as an assistant pastor at Main Street Church, where I focus on keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes. Leading worship is one of the highlights of my ministry, and I love mentoring our worship team, helping them develop both their musical and spiritual gifts. Sarah brings her compassion into her work as a physical therapist, caring for her patients with grace and understanding. I also work as a professional painter, combining creativity with attention to detail. For us, faith isn’t just part of our weekend—it’s woven into everything we do. From serving at church to connecting with people in our community, we are committed to living out God’s calling for our family in every part of our lives.
Pastor Mike & Donna Harrington
Donna and I have built a life we love here in Barnegat, NJ, where we’re surrounded by the beauty of the water, the joy of family, and the companionship of our two dogs, Hallie and Wally. With four grown children and a passion for connecting with others, we’re always looking for ways to bring people together and share life’s moments—whether it’s out on the boat or around a dinner table. At Main Street Church, we lead the Wednesday Alpha Bible Study and Dinner, a space where people can explore questions about faith and discover who Jesus is in a warm and welcoming environment. It’s one of our greatest joys to see others grow in their relationship with God and build community along the way. Looking ahead, God has placed a dream on our hearts to plant a church of our own. We’re trusting Him with every step of that journey and are so grateful for the support of our church family. Whether it’s through hospitality, discipleship, or simply showing up for people, we are committed to living out God’s love and helping others experience it too.
Pastor Todd & Joellen Andree
Todd and I call Lanoka Harbor, NJ, home, where we’ve built a life centered on faith, family, and community. We’re the proud parents of two grown children and have a deep passion for sharing Jesus with others in creative ways. Whether it’s through drama ministry, discipleship, or simply walking alongside people in everyday life, we love building meaningful relationships and living out our faith together. At Main Street Church, we serve as the Leaders over operations, ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. One of the ministries closest to our hearts is Grief Share, which we lead on Tuesday nights. It’s an honor to provide a safe and supportive space for those navigating loss, offering them the comfort of God’s love and the promise of hope and healing. Outside of ministry, we’re both bi-vocational, using our careers as platforms to serve others. I’m a registered nurse and love caring for people in some of their most vulnerable moments, while Todd brings dedication and creativity to his work as a skilled masonry contractor. Together, we’re committed to using the gifts God has given us to serve our church, our community, and everyone we encounter.
Dean & Stacey Adams
Dean and I have lived in Manahawkin, NJ, our entire lives, and this community has shaped who we are and how we serve. We’re proud parents of three grown children and grandparents to five amazing grandkids, who are such a blessing in our lives. Of course, we can’t forget Ruby, our sweet chocolate lab, who keeps us smiling every day. At Main Street Church, Dean and I have the privilege of leading the Pastoral Care Team and Family Ministry. For us, it’s all about connection—making sure no one feels overlooked and building bridges across generations. From daycare kids to college-aged young adults, we’re passionate about equipping the next generation to grow in faith, character, and purpose. Family is at the heart of everything we do, whether it’s within our own or as part of the larger church community. We’ve worked to create a network of care that supports children, teens, and families at every stage of life, and it’s a joy to see how God is working in and through these relationships. Serving alongside Dean has been one of the greatest joys of my life, and we’re so thankful to be a part of what God is doing here.
Anna & Andrew Bock
Anna and I live in Ocean Acres, NJ, with our two little ones, and we’re filled with excitement as we prepare for our growing family. Our journey to New Jersey is nothing short of God’s perfect plan—He brought me here from California and Anna all the way from Denmark so we could build this beautiful life together as part of the Main Street Church family. We feel so blessed to be in this community and are passionate about helping people connect—both with God and with one another. As a member of the Navy, I’ve learned a lot about discipline, dedication, and service, and those values carry into everything I do—whether it’s leading my family or building relationships in the church. Anna has the most compassionate heart, shaped by her experience working with special needs children. Her patience and understanding inspire me daily, and she brings so much love to every interaction. Together, we’re committed to fostering a strong and supportive community where people feel connected and cared for. It’s a privilege to live out this calling and to grow alongside the amazing people God has placed in our lives.
Lizzie Noumi
I moved to the United States in 2013 with the goal of pursuing the American dream and building a career in Finance. But what I found in South Jersey was so much more than I could have imagined. I discovered a community of radical believers who were willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of the Gospel. It was here that I experienced the powerful call of God on my life to step into ministry, and I embraced that calling with all my heart. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a part of the leadership team at Main Street Church. My heart for ministry and passion for serving others have led me to take on several key roles, including leading the ESL (English as a Second Language) and Missions outreach programs. Through these ministries, I’ve been able to connect people from all walks of life with the love of Christ, helping them grow in their faith and feel at home within the church family. I also serve on the elder governing board, offering spiritual guidance and support to the leadership of the church. My background in organization and strategy, combined with my passion for people, has allowed me to play an important role in helping keep the church moving forward. Whether I’m overseeing projects, planning events, or supporting new initiatives, I’m dedicated to ensuring the success and growth of Main Street Church. I’m constantly seeking ways to serve others and advance God’s Kingdom in practical, impactful ways.
