Shank is not your traditional pastor. Sure, he is committed to serving
the Lord, but his approach to ministry is a little different compared
to what you see in many traditional churches. He likes the hands-on approach
to ministry, believes strongly that all followers of Christ should actively
be engaged in ministry, and enjoys preaching in a way that connects to
every-day living.
Bob is committed to sharing his Christian experiences through the stories he tells and by revealing the ups and downs of the spiritual journey. His passions are preaching and teaching the biblical stories, and encouraging others on the journey to connect with God through Jesus Christ. Bob began serving the Lord in the local church where he was raised in St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Elizabethtown, PA. He attended 5 youth mission trips and felt the call to professional ministry. He graduated from Elizabethtown Area High School in 1983. That summer following his graduation he began serving in The Kensington Area Ministry, a cooperative parish of 9 United Methodist Churches in inner-city Philadelphia where he served as youth coordinator. Bob graduated from Temple University in 1987 with a degree in journalism. He then moved to western Pennsylvania and began attending Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and graduated in 1990. He is happily married to Denise, his high-school sweetheart, and they are the proud parents of Lydia and James. Bob has been the pastor of Stroudsburg United Methodist Church since July, 2002 where he continues to serve the Lord with enthusiasm and passion. He
also enjoys wildlife and sports photography. Check out his photographic
