I thank you for exploring the GSPC worldwide web site. Good Samaritan has been a wonderful place to be for me and my family. It is a young church with priority given to
the education of children. The music program at GSPC is excellent, and worship is central. While growing together in our ability and willingness to worship God through Jesus Christ, we
have become closer as a community of believers. It is our intention, both as individuals and as a community, to reach out into the world in love and service to God and God's creation.
All are welcome and loved. All are challenged and needed. We would be thrilled for you to join us as we together follow our Lord at GSPC.
If you have questions about GSPC, I hope you'll stop by, give us a call, or drop us an e-mail.

Reverend Barry Young joined the staff of Good Samaritan Presbyterian Church in October 2005 as the associate pastor.
A native of Sussex, NJ, Young graduated from Davis and Elkins College in Elkins, WV. As a college student, Young said that he heard a powerful sermon at the National
Presbyterian Church, which led him to consider Christian service.
He taught English in China and Thailand for several years, supported by the Presbyterian Church USA. During that time, he had the opportunity to share his faith with his
students, many of whom had not heard of Jesus Christ. When he returned to the United States, he volunteered at an inner-city church in Cincinnati. Finally, he
attended Union Presbyterian School of Christian Education in Richmond, VA, and graduated with degrees in ministry and Christian education.
