Meet Our Team
Lead Pastor
Steve Mann
My name is Steve Mann, and I graduated from Lebanon Valley College in 2011 with a Master of Arts in Religion. I have my Master of Arts in Ministry from Asbury Theological Seminary. In college God took a hold of my life and led me to the world of ministry. As a college student I had the privilege of interning with a Brethren in Christ church in their youth ministry.
When the internship ended I was hired as the youth pastor. After eight formative years as the Youth Pastor at Encounter Church of Palmyra, I felt the Spirit nudge me towards pursuing a seminary degree, during which time I was a stay-at-home dad to our then one-year-old daughter. After all of those experiences I am excited and thankful to partner with Jesus in what He is doing in Mechanicsburg!
Personally, I’m hungry for Jesus’ redemptive work in my life and the lives of others. I love the church because it’s a community I’ve seen God use to bring about incredible life transformation. I long to see the local church be a visible witness of God’s intention for humanity as we experience the living God together.
When I’m not doing church stuff you can find me on the couch watching the Celtics, Penn State football, or the US Men’s Soccer Team. My wife, Gloria, and I love to laugh and spend most of our energy trying to make each other smile. Our three girls, Eloise, Josephine, and Vivienne, have picked up on this family arrangement and consistently brighten our days with their antics.
Associate Pastor
Cheryl Hopkins
Hi, I’m Cheryl! My husband, Mark, and I have lived in the Mechanicsburg area for more than 30 years. During that time, we served at Mechanicsburg Brethren in Christ Church in youth and worship ministry for 18 years before helping launch Mechanicsburg Community Church in 2014. We have four children: Jeremiah (married to Angela), Nathaniel (married to Katie), Luke, and Olivia.
I earned my bachelor's degree in Education and taught second grade at a Christian classical education hybrid school for three years. Before that, I taught preschool for five years.
I enjoy spending time with my family, exercising, listening to all styles of music, anything red, coffee, and visiting Canada, where I was born and raised. I’m passionate about loving others through intentional relationships and mentoring, always seeking to point people to Jesus.
Youth Pastor
Faatimah Curry
My name is Faatimah Curry! I'm originally from Philly, but I've spent most of my life in Hershey, where I attended the Milton Hershey School. After graduating and returning to Philly, I felt a strong calling to serve and connect with fellow Christ-like believers in the heart of the city.
Since 2015, I've been incredibly fortunate to participate in mission trips to Guatemala, serve my local church as part of a pastoral team, teach and preach at youth retreats, and assist refugees and immigrants in the South Philly area. I have a degree in Early Childhood Studies from Eastern University, and I've spent many years caring for and teaching children. Watching young minds learn about the world around us is such a delight.
Outside of ministry, you'll often catch me raving about my beloved Philadelphia sports teams, especially the 76ers! I also love keeping active, treating myself to a delicious hot London Fog Latte, tuning into podcasts, and grabbing some quality nap time.
Administrative Assistant
Chloe George
I’m Chloe! My husband, Charlie, and I live in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, with our two sweet, energetic boys, Ezra and Benji. We met while attending Messiah College, where we both graduated. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom, I taught 7th-grade English at Mechanicsburg Middle School. I’m currently enjoying this season of caring for our two young boys.
In my free time, I love trying new soup recipes, gardening, spending time outdoors, and making memories with family and friends.
Our family has been attending Mechanicsburg Community Church since 2019. I’m originally from Hawaii, and Charlie is from Salisbury, Maryland. We were immediately drawn to the genuine sense of community and support we experienced at MCC. It quickly became our home away from home.
