Leadership

LEAD PASTOR

Drew is aNetwork Leader of RiverTree and Lead Pastor of Orchard Hill Church. Originally from Baton Rouge, Drew has served the church in various roles for 22 years, including churches and church plants in Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Ohio. Drew and Catherine and their family moved from Kentucky to Ohio in 2018 to work at RiverTree. In 2020, Drew accepted the position of Lead Pastor at Orchard Hill Church (Formerly RiverTree Canal Fulton). Drew has a deep passion for teaching and discipleship and is excited to be a part of seeing the church practice the way of Jesus where we live, work, learn, and play.

ASSOCIATE PASTOR

Christie joined the Orchard Hill Church (Formerly RTCF) staff team in 2016 as the Kids Ministry Director and was named Associate Pastor in December of 2022. She and her husband, Matt, and kids Elijah, Jovie, and Ben love Orchard Hill because of its focus on joining Jesus in the work he's doing in our communities. They want to intentionally live FOR the people around them and to show people who Jesus is. She especially loves discovering how the Holy Spirit has gifted individuals for the work He has planned for them and helping people grow to be disciples who make disciples. Christie is grateful to work alongside the staff and congregation of Orchard Hill and is looking forward to continuing to join God as he ushers in the Kingdom of Heaven here to Canal Fulton and beyond.

COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR

Catherine wears many hats around the church, all wrapped up in the fancy title of Communications Director. She works for the RiverTree Movement, and while she calls Orchard Hill home, you'll find her working on behalf of multiple churches in the Movement, helping them bring their best for the sake of the Kingdom. When not at a church building, you'll find her wrangling her three boys and sweet newborn baby girl, enjoying time with her husband Drew, or spending time outside (probably alongside a dog) exploring or relaxing.

CHURCH ADMINISTRATOR

Patty keeps Orchard Hill running like a well-oiled machine. She's been a part of Orchard Hill since the beginning, but beyond her administrative talents, we love Patty for her amazing heart for students, and you won't find her missing an opportunity to be with them - whether on a Wednesday night, Sunday morning or at summer camp! Patty is an amazing mom and grandmother and loves her family fiercely.

WORSHIP LEADER

Sharon found her home at Orchard Hill (Formerly RTCF) in 2015 and joined the staff team in 2020. On Sundays, she serves as the worship leader, often accompanied by her husband, Brian.

STUDENT DIRECTOR

Adam has been married to his wonderful wife Beth for 16 years. They have 3 amazing kids, Mallory, Marissa, and Michael. After working in student ministry for the last 5 years, Adam is excited to be leading students into their next steps with Jesus at Orchard Hill Church.

SPEAKEASY COFFEE MANAGER

Amanda has been the shop manager for our third ministry space, Speakeasy Coffee in Downtown Canal Fulton, since 2023. She knows her regular customers by name and goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcomed and appreciated. When not making the best coffee in town, you'll find Amanda cruising in her Jeep with her girls, probably on the way to a volleyball or softball game.
