Pat Dee, Executive Pastor

Having lived in Chicago, Boulder, New Mexico, Atlanta, and now Pennsylvania, Pat’s world has been full of different people with lots of different ideas and questions about life. As a husband, father, business owner, and pastor he personally understands the difficulties of balancing all of life’s demands and finding purpose and significance at the same time. His passion for helping others connect to the hope that he found in his relationship with God keeps Pat involved relationally with people both inside and outside the church.
Pat is probably one of the most easily entertained people you will ever meet, but he doesn’t like to watch the same movie more than once. Conversations and coffee are almost never denied, and neither is golf with friends. But he’s not much for the driving range. You might catch him smoking an occasional cigar or sampling a hand crafted beer. When he spends time reading, it usually isn’t fiction (he’s currently building a collection of books on leadership, and finishing a Masters degree in the same subject). He can become quite grumpy when hungry. He likes to stay up late and sleep in. And if he ever drops out of life, odds are that you’ll find he’s a ski bum living somewhere in the mountains of Colorado.
To know Pat is to know that he loves his wife Stacey and their three daughters. As a family they enjoy their pets, movies, reading together, and hanging out with friends.

Linda has been attending The Bridge since the first service in 2000. When she retired from the state Department of Education after 35 years, Linda was looking for work that had purpose and provided a service. In working for the Bridge she is pleased to have found both. She says that the best part of her job is that it doesn't feel like work. You will find Linda in the office from 9:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M., Monday through Thursday.
In her free time, Linda enjoys spending time doing crafts, home remodeling and redecorating, reading, walking and volunteering at The Bridge and other places. Linda has two grown children, a son and a daughter, and a cat.
