Andrew Blondo - Pastor

Andrew was reared in the northeast Philadelphia area. He grew up in a Christian home but did not personally receive the Lord until he was 18. Since salvation, the Lord has taken him to serve in North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Tennessee mainly in the areas of children and youth work. Andrew received a Bachelors in Biblical Studies and is currently pursuing his Masters of Divinity in Biblical and Theological studies from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY. He and his wife, Dana, were married in 2006 and have five children.

Andrew desires to keep ministry simple. He desires for the Sumner County Upper Cumberland Presbyterian Church to reflect the heart of Christ to one another and neighbors by patterning what can be seen and commanded from the Bible. He believes that ministry should be both organized and organic- organized for times of corporate worship and events and organic for member-initiated moments where lives touch others’ lives on a more personal and intimate level.
