Rev. Noah Ford is a passionate advocate for the Kingdom of God and the now generation. He desires to see the least, last, lost and littlest of the world be radically transformed by the Holy Spirit. Before entering into vocational ministry Noah was a drug and alcohol admissions coordinator and in addition to his responsibilities, served on a team dedicated to helping adolescents. Later, Noah would go on to serve a year with AmeriCorps as a middle school educator in rural Pennsylvania. These experiences along with numerous ministry roles have helped shape Noah’s heart towards sharing the gospel with the now generation.

Noah studied Psychology and Business at the Pennsylvania State University. Currently, he is pursuing a certification and degree in theology and biblical studies with the Christian Leaders Institute and College. Over the year’s Noah has helped develop two church plants and his ministry has connected him with people in PA, MD, TX, and around the world. In 2020, Noah was licensed as a pastor by Evangel Fellowship International.

I am the Director of Children and Family Ministries at Oakland United Methodist Church. I currently reside in Johnstown, PA with my amazing and precious wife Shannon Ford and our adorable cat Waffles. Growing up, I had many places to call home since I spent a lot of time traveling – living in more places than I would like to admit – and serving in the church. Some of the most recent places I have served at include Curryville Church of the Brethren, Vineyard Altoona, and Element Church. I am passionate about sharing the gospel with the now generation, and helping them discover the love of Jesus and to love others. I like to consider myself a film enthusiast, coffee connoisseur, and I enjoy traveling, cooking, sports, playing music, and trying new things.
