Matt Meeder

PASTOR - ELDER | email

Matt & Leslie have been involved in church ministry together the past 30 years in both rural and urban/suburban settings. Matt and Leslie crossed paths at Grace Chapel while doing youth ministry and were married here in 1981.

Matt received a B.S. degree in Bible and Christian Education from Cairn University (then PCB) and his M. Div. from Grace Theological Seminary. Matt and Leslie enjoy hiking, biking, canoeing and being with their 4 children and 7 grandkids whenever possible. On long winter nights Matt can be found streaming detective shows on Netflix, playing with his model trains or, now and then, immersed in a good book.

Nancy Smyrl

CHILDREN'S MINISTRY DIRECTOR

My name is Nancy Smyrl, serving as the Children’s Ministry Director. I grew up in Broomall and am an identical twin. Gregg and I met in the Singles Sunday School Class at GC, and were married here. I came to know about Jesus’ love and grace through the witness of a friend, Sandy who invited me to Delaware County Youth Ranch and later, Grace Chapel. 

Our 3 children, Jonathan, Philip and Anne were all born in the West Indies. Now we have 4 grandchildren! I graduated from Marple Newtown High School and then Bloomsburg University. Gregg and I reach out to the University City international community with volunteers from Grace Chapel. I enjoy reading, walking and sometimes writing poems!
