Our Team
Pastor Aaron entered full time ministry 15 years ago and absolutely loves talking about Jesus. More than a decade ago he married his best friend and now they have 4 beautiful kids: Elisha, Arya, Emma, and Adley. Aaron often draws from his own experiences and examples from everyday life to illustrate Biblical truths that point straight to Jesus. He whole-heartedly believes in the power of stories and of course the blood of Jesus. Revelation 12:11 “And they overcame by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony (their stories)…”
Tim is the Student and Worship Pastor here at The Bridge Church. He has been married to his highschool sweetheart, Elizabeth (Liz) Trinkle since the summer of 2015. Together, they have a loveable Pitbull, Zoë, and a mischievous rabbit named Corbit. Tim and Liz share a huge passion for the quality of our daily worship as well as the spiritual development of middle and high school students. They feel blessed having been giving the opportunity to work on these passions daily by facilitating Student Ministry (Elevate) as well as the Sunday Morning Experience here at The Bridge. Tim and Liz love long walks with our Pitbull, dates in quirky coffee shops and spending time with family at the beach.
My walk with the Lord began in 2002 when I was Baptized at Delaware Valley Christian Church by Pastor Brian. It was the beginning of an amazing journey that has brought myself and my family to meet so many wonderful people. I met my husband Dean in 1993 and we were married 1997. We have been blessed with 2 wonderful boys, Nolan and Nicholas, ages 11 and 9. We love spending time as a family outdoors, sports, movies and at the beach! We became part of The Bridge many years ago. An amazing God loving woman that many of you know well, Patricia Savage, took amazing care of both of our boys in the daycare. She faithfully invited us to attend service and we finally accepted her offer. We are forever grateful for her serving heart and love to our family and most importantly for being a warrior for Jesus and reaching out to us. We have been members of the church through many changes since 2008 and I am now blessed to be part of the incredible team here at The Bridge!

I came to Jesus and salvation in October 1976 and became a church member within a month. Married for 52 years, my husband Joe soon came to Jesus and joined our church in 1977 serving as a faithful trustee for several years thereafter. My joy and privilege has been to serve as Church Secretary to 11 different pastors and to God's people in Linwood for over 27 years. I look forward to more of what our God has in store for Marcus Hook Baptist and The Bridge Church.For over 20 years, I've has been an African violet houseplant enthusiast, and I have served as an officer or director in the local, Mid-Atlantic states and national associations. I'd like to share Jesus and/or an African violet plant. See me if interested!
Martha Harding
Children's Ministry Director

Aloha! My name his Martha and I have the pleasure of being mom to 4 amazing children, 1 son, and 3 daughters. My journey into church ministry began 13 years ago, right after Aaron and I got married in May, 2004. I served in many capacities from nursery, pre-school, elementary, to youth ministries. Most of my jobs outside of church have involved some sort of child care, from nannying for 5 years, to working as a junior gym coach, then being a Lead teacher at Discovery zone Learning Center, to now working in Elementary and Middle school fundraising. I think its safe to say that children and their care has always been something of importance to me and something I enjoy. I am so excited to see where God is going to lead and what he as in store for our Bridge Kids!

Hi! I came to Jesus when I was 14, thanks to a music teacher who invited me to a Bible study. Since then, I've found a talent for writing and I use it for the work of the Kingdom. My family and I have attended this church for 35 years. I am both a college professor and a high school teacher. I love to knit, read, and write! See me if you'd like to learn to knit.
