JD Gierach
Pastoral Assistant - Digital Communications
Pastor JD graduated from Furman University in Greenville, SC with a B.S. in Psychology and went on to study at Duke Divinity School receiving his Masters of Divinity in 2022. As a local Floridian, he played on the worship team at Markham Woods Presbyterian Church in high school and eventually made his way back to MWPC to serve as an Assistant Pastor.
