Here at the Harrisburg Church of God (7th Day) we are a small, but mighty team, with a great number of prayer warriors lifting us up, and volunteers helping to fill the gaps where needed! Here are a few faces that you will see regularly.
Pastor Greg & Lorie Haffner
Lead Pastor
Greg and Lorie Haffner have been faithful members of our church for many years. Pastor Greg has recently began serving our congregation as Pastor on July 1, 2024. Together, he and Lorie have 2 daughters, Natalie and Courtney. Greg has served the church as an Elder for the last 2 years, has served on the Church Board, worked alongside our youth at youth camps, and even served as a youth leader. He has lead a successful career as a landscaper, and worked as an Elementary school teacher before then. We are so grateful for the relationships Pastor Greg has built and the way he leads our church to put our trust in the Lord!
Gordon & Peggy Kuryluk
Music Minister
Gordon is our Worship Leader. He and his wife Peggy have two children, and 5 grandchildren. Music is a part of our worship service every Sabbath morning. Gordon tickles the ivories on the baby grand, and is joined by a great team of instrumentalists and singers to lead us in worship through praise. Gordon and Peggy also sing in their gospel music group, Cornerstone. For over twenty years, they have been a big part of the Pacific Gospel Music Association.
Korban Lang
Youth Leader
Korban has served as our Youth Leader for over a year now and has attended our church here in Harrisburg for all of his life! Korban recently got engaged to Kassidy who is excited to serve alongside him as they both have a passion for our youth and for spreading the joy of the Lord! Korban is pursuing a degree in Physical Therapy at George Fox University and works hard there throughout the school year, making sure to stay in touch with the youth and plan events, activities, and leads classes at church about every other week while his school is in session. We are thankful for his hard work in all areas of his life!
Emily Morrow
Secretary
Emily has served as the secretary here at the Harrisburg Church of God for a little over 2 years and enjoys making sure our church body feels loved and is seen. If you reach out via email or phone, you will likely hear from her, or she will help you find the help you are looking for! Emily and her husband Taylor have 3 girls, with their oldest in 1st grade, so there is typically a baby on her hip or a toddler running alongside her. Emily has attended church here in Harrisburg for her whole life.
