Meet the Director

Michael D'Elisa
Director of Student Ministries

Hi Everyone I’m Michael! My love for student ministry began while I was a college student serving at my local church in West Palm Beach, Florida. During that time, I discovered a deep passion for guiding students in their walk with Jesus. I spent 3 years there as an Intern.
After college, I moved to Iceland where I continued my work in student ministry, running a youth group in Reykjavik.
After living in so many different places, God brought me to Exton in August. I immediately got involved at Paoli Pres and attended nearly every young adult event. Since moving to Pennsylvania, I have been praying about ways to get involved with youth. When Doug reached out to me about serving as the Director of Student Ministry, I was ecstatic.
I have described a little bit of my journey, but the most important thing you can know about me is that I am a follower of Jesus. I love others because He loved me first. I am very excited about what God is doing in Paoli!
