The Board of Directors
Dominic (Dom) Loffredo works for a company that provides coaching to Elder Law Firms nationwide. He and his wife, Isabella, along with their daughters, Magnolia and Penelope, reside in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
Dom’s journey of faith began in middle school, where he first experienced the impact of youth ministry. His youth leaders invested time in his friends and family—whether through Vacation Bible School or offering comfort during difficult times. In high school, those same leaders guided Dom and his girlfriend (now wife) through life’s transitions and challenges, always pointing them toward the truth and beauty of God’s Word.
Today, Dom is passionate about leading, guiding, and loving others in ways that draw them closer to God—especially young adults, a group often tempted to “fit in” and follow the crowd. Jesus had crowds, but few truly followed Him. Dom’s mission is to inspire authentic faith and encourage others to choose a path that honors God.
John Biswas was born again at the age of 25. His mother was a nurse missionary to Bangladesh for 16 years which greatly influenced his worldview. After graduating from a Christian residential program he earned his Bachelor’s in Accounting and currently works as an accountant in a corporate environment.
He strongly desires to be a part of what God is doing in building and establishing the Church and sees a tremendous amount of value in residential programs such as Cottage Ministries. The missional focus of Cottage Ministries also directly aligns with his beliefs.
John and his wife Lakin, and daughters Aubrey and Mercy, live in Mechanicsburg, PA.
Steve Halstead is married to his beautiful wife Andrea and together they have been blessed with seven kiddos. (Koty, Jayla, Maddie, Aviya, Toby, Elli, and Waverly) He grew up north of Philadelphia where he met Andrea at a local Dairy Queen. He then attended Ethnos360 while Andrea attended Huntington College. In 1998 they married and both transferred to Lancaster Bible College where Steve got his degree in Bible with a focus on youth ministry and Andrea got her degree in Elementary Education. After graduating they moved to Williamsport where Steve began his pastorate ministry. He is currently serving as the Lead Pastor at Third Street Church in Williamsport. He loves being used by God to communicate the Word so that people "hear and understand" and "see and perceive" (Isaiah 6:9-10).
John Saufley met Christ in a Bible-believing church at age 8 and internalized his faith while being discipled in college by the Navigators. He lived that faith in duty positions in various locations including Germany, Korea, and a combat tour in Iraq, the latter while being a member of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. He retired from the Guard as an active-duty officer in 2013 and from his Department of Defense civilian position in 2022, serving as a lay elder for GracePoint Evangelical Free Church in Palmyra, PA during this period.
John wants to impact the following generations for Christ. He sees the college-age years as a critical time for the Church to step in and bring the love of Christ and the Word of Truth into those lives in a personal one-on-one manner, as this was most effective in his own faith journey.
John and his wife Colette live north of Hershey, PA. They are blessed with four adult children (Joseph, Rachel, Joanna, and Joshua), all of whom are married and live in southeastern PA. Their first grandbaby is due at the end of May 2024.
