E. Nicholas Van Gombos

Interim Pastor

Pastor Nick, with roots in So. California and So. New York, and degrees in Religious Studies from St. Lawrence Univ., and a Master of Divinity from Princeton Seminary, brings a variety of experiences to his time as our Interim Minister for this Transitional time.   He has served in five prior parish settings in the mid-west, New Hampshire, Millburn, NJ and as Interim Pastor for First PC, Hamilton NJ.  In addition, he held a unique role as Director of the Kerygma Program of Adult Bible Study in Pittsburgh, PA.

 

As Nick said in his introductory papers: “At this time I sense God calling me to come alongside the leaders and members of Rumson P. C. in this transitional season in the role of Interim Pastor.   I eagerly anticipate bringing my years of practice in preaching/teaching, pastoral care and congregational leadership to this call.  I look forward to sharing proactive work to help prepare the way for the next Installed Pastor.”

 

With a certification in The Art of Transitional Ministry, Nick is here to support us in our continued Transitional time.   He and wife Franny have three grown sons, lovely daughters-in-law, and enjoy spoiling three precious grandchildren.
