Online Pastor – The Rev. Andrew Kosarik

Andrew’s role as online pastor is to connect and pray with those experiencing worship and community through Church of the Savior’s online platform.  

Life happens and sometimes that means people can’t make it to church or have medical needs that prevent them from coming, but it doesn’t mean they can’t have church where they are on a Sunday morning.  Others have long term limitations that prevent them from coming but it never means you can’t worship God with us through the virtual space.  You have a place with us and God and it is just one click away.  You do need to register to engage the online community and Pastor Andrew in the chat.  If you would like to further discuss God or life, you can share your contact info privately in the prayer request field and Pastor Andrew will get back to you after the service.  

As a graduate of Trinity School for Ministry, he earned a Masters of Divinity in 2002.  He also led the team that founded the Village Church and became its first pastor.   

Andrew’s wife Deanna is a case worker for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  They have two children. 

In his spare time he dabbles in cooking, enjoys problem solving, takes in a good Sci-fi movie now and then, and loves playing board games and video games with his family.
