Nick Gaetani
Elder
Bio
Although Nick has lived all over Southeastern Pennsylvania, he considers West Chester his adopted hometown. He earned his B.A from York College of Pennsylvania and his M.A. from West Chester University. Though his fields of study were completely unrelated to his career in financial services, he wouldn’t have it any other way, as it was here that he met his wife, Meredith. When not serving God’s church, he enjoys travel, trying new foods, walking around the borough with Meredith, sports (especially soccer and racing), and reading an eclectic mix of books on a number of topics. He also loves meeting new people, so feel free to say hi to him on Sunday mornings.

CHURCH STAFF
Donna Kraus
Administrative Assistant
Dan Mason
Pastoral Assistant
Bio
A native Delawarean, the Lord called Dan to faith at a young age. Around that same time, he began playing music. While leading worship in college, he felt God’s call on his life to combine those two early loves and enter vocational music ministry. After graduation, he moved to Louisville, KY to attend The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, a city and school he had never visited. Through connections there, he learned about a small church in West Chester, only about 45 minutes north of his hometown. After visiting one Sunday in the summer, Dan moved back home to join the team as an intern at The Journey Church. As a Pastoral Assistant at CCWC, Dan serves alongside Pastor Raymond to equip the elders and deacons to serve the body of Christ, in addition to leading worship most Sunday morning services. Dan has a B.A. in History from the University of Delaware and will graduate with an M.Div. in Christian Ministry from SBTS in May, 2020. He lives in West Chester with his wife, Rachel.
