Waynesburg Nazarene Church is led by our church board and a dedicated staff team
Our LEadership
Rev. Brian Miller
lead Pastor
I prefer black coffee to soda, and old dusty book stores to shopping in a mall; I picked up golf a couple of years ago and am enjoying the process of learning a new sport and taking strokes off of my game. In a moment of honesty, I'd admit to driving a bit faster than I really should and eating more fast food than is healthy.
My journey has allowed me to see the church in some of her best moments, as well as seeing the church in some of her worst moments. Few things bring as much joy as baptizing new followers of Christ and rejoicing with them as their life is impacted by the light and love of Christ; those moments when the church shines like the "city on a hill" that we are called to be are reminders that the Kingdom of God is moving and transforming this world.

Rev. TiM Meeks
Youth Pastor
Pastor Tim has served on staff as our full-time youth pastor since 2016! Since 2020, he has also served as the Pittsburgh District NYI President. In addition to his local and district youth responsibilities, Tim also serves as our AV/IT Director.
Prior to coming to Waynesburg, Pastor Tim served as a full-time youth pastor for five years at the Idaho Falls First Church of the Nazarene in Idaho Falls, ID, and as part-time youth pastor for two years at the Fill My Cup Church of the Nazarene in Middleton, ID.
Pastor Tim attended the Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa, ID where he earned his bachelor’s degree in Christian Ministries with a minor in youth ministry.
Pastor Tim is an ordained elder in the Church of the Nazarene and by his own admission, is a “cat-fathering, cow-admiring, flip-flop-wearing, NASCAR watching, energy-drink-consuming, dumpster diving, Jesus freak."
Pastor Tim is married to Natalie Homer (a published poet) and they have three fur babies: Nick, Jasper, and Derek!
