Meet Our Staff
Dan Sardinas Lead Pastor Dan has been our pastor since January, 2004. He, his wife, Lori, and their three children reside in Cranberry. Many of Dan's interests revolve around sports and music. He is a fan of the Yankees, Devils, Giants, and Knicks - all teams that VWC folks never heard of until Dan came along - and he loves to play golf! His favorite musical artists include Third Day, David Crowder Band, and Jeremy Camp. His real passion, however, is technology, and it is very difficult to pry him away from Circuit City or Best Buy, where you will find him searching for the latest electronic gadget. Dan's only weakness - he loves flavored coffee! You can send Dan an email here.

Bill Kenyon Evangelism Leader Bill came to Venango Woods in the summer of 2005, after a career in the US Air Force. Bill has two teenage children, lives in Franklin and works in Oil City. In addition to his evangelism efforts at Venango Woods, he is building a Christian vinyl graphics sign business and is an active member of Gideons International. You can send Bill an email here.

Tom Mayrant Discipleship Leader Tom has been married to Cath for 11 years, and they have two children. The Mayrants have been attending VWC for two years and love seeing God at work.

Brunella DeShazo Ministry Leader Brunella and her husband (David) have three children. They moved here from Georgia in 2001.

She loves to go to the beach! You can send Brunella an email here.
