Hello to all of my new friends at The Patch! My name is Andy Hart, and I am the Pastor of Old First Presbyterian Church here in Huntington. I am excited about this blog, as its purpose is to answer YOUR questions about faith! So, my friends tell me, what are your questions, let's hear them!
Let me introduce myself. My family is from Rockville Center although I grew up in Philadelphia. I majored in Politics at Wake Forest University and taught Political Science at the University of South Carolina. From there I was an account manager for a computer company in Canada (So I really don't complain about our winters). I attended Princeton Theological Seminary. My first church was a small country church in Lancaster, South Carolina. The church was surrounded by cow pastures so one of my first tasks as a minister was to get a cow out of a graveyard before a funeral started. I then came to Huntington.
I am married with three children. In my spare time, I am the Chaplain for the Leroy R. Grumman Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol as well as Long Island Group. I also play basketball, kayak, and train for triathlons. I am also finishing my doctorate in ministry with a dissertation on Spirituality and PTSD. I do get some sleep sometimes.
