Mac came to Doylestown in December of 2024. He has been a pastor in the PC(USA) for over 25 years serving congregations in Northern Ireland, Florida, New Jersey, Arizona and North Carolina.  His last call was a 15-year pastorate at Hudson Memorial Presbyterian Church in Raleigh, NC.  Mac grew up in Princeton, New Jersey. He is married to Katy and they have four adult children. He has his BA from Elon University, a Master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary, and his Doctor of Ministry from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.

In his personal time Mac enjoys long distance hiking.  He has walked the Camino Frances, Camino Portugues, the Via Francigena, St. Cuthbert’s Way, and a section of the Appalachian Trail.  Mac loves drawing, studying history, working in his yard and baking pies.

Becca Bateman spends her time wondering. She wonders how to help church people navigate both sacred traditions and necessary change (without too many committee meetings). She wonders if her own kids will ever put their shoes on the first time she asks. She wonders why coffee always seems to taste better when accompanied by good conversation. And she wonders at the beauty of God’s creation—especially when she finally steps away from devices and gets outside to enjoy it.

Previously, she served as an Associate Pastor in several churches in Los Angeles, California, focusing on spiritual formation for all ages and shaping faith communities with a deep commitment to intergenerational community building, imaginative worship, risk-taking mission, broad pastoral care, and intentional spiritual formation.

Her degrees in History and Classics from California State University, Long Beach, and an M.Div. from Fuller Theological Seminary feel like distant milestones. Becca, remaining committed to lifelong learning, has pursued more recently continuing education through a pastoral leadership program at Pepperdine University, transitional ministry training at Princeton Theological Seminary, and co-created a published resource with five other clergy called Just Brave Enough. She is looking forward to beginning the Iron Sharpening Iron program at Princeton Theological Seminary.

Beyond the church walls, Becca finds joy in traveling, playing soccer, and capturing life’s adventures with her husband, Mike, their children, Maisie and Royce, and their sweet dog, Zoe. Whether over coffee or a good story, she loves connecting with others—so if you’ve got a dream travel destination, she’d love to hear it!
