Interview with Brian Knorr:
Pastor Brian Knorr was someone you could see as a pastor. His caring and friendly personality made him easy to listen to and someone you could sit down with and talk to without feeling uncomfortable. Before pasturing he was under the same umbrella that traps many Christians, without any “un-churched” friends he was unable to relate and be open to people that were not in the church. This all changed after a conversation with Tom Rees.
Pastor Knorr worked in a youth group for 12 years, God later called Pastor Brian to plant a church were he now pastors, Mountain Top Family Center in Mountain Top, PA. Pastor Brian planted this church with the Lord’s guidance and has been leading there for five years now. This church focuses on many aspects of children, youth, young adults, adults, and small groups for all people. The church is also very out of the box with a driving range, arcade, batting cages, and a mini golf course. They also do many outreaches to the community and neighboring schools. One of there highlights for children and youth is there summer speed stacking camps and competitions (Speed cup stacking. This church is very open to everyone and you can “come as you are.”
Pastor Brian really encouraged me to think out of the Christian bubble and to reach out to the community and searching people. He said, “I will offend a Christian before a non-Christian.” His love for others showed in his relationship with his son, Brian, who came for the class interview. He taught that we need to have open lines with people and to pour into people to show the love of Christ. He also said that, “who you are today is who you will be in the future.” This was a motivating call for me to reach out and pour myself into others in a greater way.
