Ethan was born and raised in southeastern Wisconsin where he grew up enjoying music, guitar, sports, and spending time at various youth ministries.
After putting his parents through 19 hard years of raising and parenting, he moved to Estes Park, CO to attend Ravencrest Chalet, a Bible school part of Torchbearers International.
After his first year of school, he transferred to Lancaster Bible College (B.A. Pastoral Ministry and Biblical Studies) where he met his wife, Alexis, who he married on May 9, 2025.
When Ethan’s not doing youth ministry, he often finds himself invested in one of the many joys he had growing up: sports, music, guitar, etc. He also occasionally spends his time serving as a Chaplain Candidate for the PA Army National Guard.
Ethan’s ministry goal is to minister and disciple within a community, nurturing its devotion to God, compassion for others, commitment to living by truth, and proclamation of Jesus. He’s grateful to have joined Word of Life Chapel in June, 2025 to achieve this goal through the church’s youth ministry.

I’m not originally from this area (born in Annapolis, MD), but I have enjoyed putting down roots here in Lancaster county.
I’ve been attending WOLC for the past 16 years, and it’s exciting to serve part time as the Children’s Ministry Director. I love to see kids learning the truths of who God is and experiencing the love and care of Jesus through this local body of believers. My background is in elementary education, but for the past 12 years, I’ve been at home with my 3 kids, which has been a huge blessing!
I have a passion to see young people become disciples of Jesus, as they trust in Him and learn what it means to follow Him for the rest of their lives. I enjoy reading, cooking, exercising, the outdoors and ice cream. I love Jesus and His Church. Walking with Him is, by far, the greatest joy of my life.

It’s my joy to serve and be served by our wonderful Creator as a pastor within His Church.
I was born and raised in Lancaster County. During the end of my freshman year, I received an intense desire for God’s Word and to preach His Word. Upon graduating from Donegal High School, God led me to the Adirondacks for Bible School to fuel and train my love for God’s Word & the Living Word Himself.
My desire for Christ and His Church only grew in the years to come, which eventually led me to pastor in Warrensburg, NY. After 7 years of ministry and 4 new family additions, God made it clear that He desired I move back to Lancaster, where I’m now blessed to be a part of the Word of Life Chapel family.
I truly enjoy being a pastor. I believe that our God is the greatest and I believe with all my heart that others should hear from Him and follow Him for that reason.
I also enjoy hiking, biking, running, hunting, and enjoying time with my wife and 4 boys.
