Meet the Team

Dan Hoffstetter

Originally from the Allentown area, Dan’s passion for ministry moved him to Gloucester, MA where he received a Masters of Divinity and a Masters of Theology in Theology and Culture from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. While in school, he met and married Heidi in 2014, after mistakenly sitting in her seat one Sunday at church. After serving for 5 years as a pastor there, he and Heidi felt that the Lord was calling them to head back to do ministry closer to home and to be part of a new church plant in the Topton area. After their first time at Jak’s Downtown Diner, they were hooked and promptly moved to Topton in October 2020 to begin planning for the launch of Redeemer Bible Fellowship Church. You can find them playing at the playground with their two kids, Madelyn and Calvin, reading down at the Market Café, or getting Ice Cream at Herman’s! He is excited to get to know and serve YOU and can’t wait to partner with you to see Topton, and the surrounding communities, grow and thrive!

Larry grew up in Emmaus and attended Bethel Bible Fellowship Church for most of his life. He and his wife, Michelle, were married in 1991, and they have 2 children (an adult son, Nick, and a daughter, Keira). Larry & Michelle served at Bethel until 2006 when God led them to work as missionaries with TEAM in Czech Republic. They worked as church planters in two different areas of Prague until they returned to the States in 2014. Larry continues to work with TEAM as a mentor for new missionaries and as the discipleship coordinator. Following Larry's ordination in the Bible Fellowship Church, he and Michelle were looking for the next step God had for them. After meeting with Pastor Dan and hearing about the work in Topton, it became very clear that this is where God wanted them to serve. They are really excited to be a part of this church plant.
