Pastor Steve Blayer
speaking Thursday (July 11th)
Pastor Steve Blayer spent his childhood on the streets of New York City, and was rescued by the Lord from a destructive lifestyle in early 1989, largely through the ministry of his future wife, Audrea. They were married two years later, and have since added six children to their household — Benjamin , Nadia , Makailah , Aaron, Anya, and Taiah . Steve and Audrea served the Lord in the Boston area through the 1990’s, under Philip Cappuccio at the Boston Tabernacle as deacons and house church leaders. In 2000, the Lord moved the Blayers to PA, where Steve served as the Family Pastor at Christ Community Church in Camp Hill under Dave Hess.
After seven years, Steve was called and commissioned to pastor Hillside Christian Fellowship, a church plant of CCC. His ministry passion is to help every son and daughter of God rise up to their full potential in Christ, boldly demonstrate that the Kingdom of God has now come wherever they are sent by the Lord, and live a life of increasing zeal for God and His Kingdom.

Pastor Mario
speaking Sunday Morning (July 14th)
I was born in the city of Kingston on the Island of Jamaica. I gave my life to the Lord at a very young age. Growing up on the Island was not easy, and I never did everything right in my life, but God had His hand on me. Later in my life the Lord called me to full-time ministry and I surrendered. I came to this country to further my Biblical studies and now I am the pastor of this wonderful church. I have learned in my life being obedient to God gives me peace of mind. God has transformed this city slicker from Kingston, Jamaica to a Pennsylvania Dutch countryman.
Pastor Ben King

In 2015 God saved me out of drug and alcohol addiction. Jesus encountered me in my room in Pennsylvania. I have been on staff serving Circuit Riders since 2016. Preaching the Gospel and equipping and training others all across the world has been so much fun.
