Meet our pastor and learn what we believe.

Meet Pastor Adam Hungerford and his wife Tracey

We greet you in the name of the Lord Jesus! It has been our honor and a great blessing to be called to ministry and service at the Well EPC. It is our loving church home. Our service here began in August 2024, and God has been doing a great work in our lives. God has led us along a wonderful and blessed sojourn!

Adam’s ministry began as an ordained Elder in the Presbyterian Church of Waynesboro (PA). During that time he worked as an architect and project manager, focusing on church and not-for-profit design. In His time, God led Adam to respond to a call to become a full-time Minister of Discipleship and Education. He continued his education obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in Bible and Counseling from Lancaster Bible College. He and his family relocated back to Horseheads in 2005 and he served in various leadership capacities in director-level leadership at several not-for-profits. Most recently he completed a Masters of Divinity from Winebrenner Theological Seminary concluding with thesis work on Pastoral (shepherding) care.

Adam has also served as Pastor at Higher Hope Church in Big Flats, NY. As he and Tracey prepared to plant a church in the area they were instead called to the ministry and service of Pastoral care and revitalization. It is in this capacity and design Adam responded to a call to become Pastor of The Well EPC. His heart is on encouraging each person to embrace and invest in their relationship with their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Tracey works part-time but has many years ‘toiling’ in the home as a gifted and focused mother and teacher (our children are all homeschooled). God has designed and led her towards ministries of compassion, fellowship, and hospitality. She is always a people person and loves getting to know you. As the season of homeschooling nears its end she looks to the next season God has purposed her for.

Adam and Tracey met while attending Virginia Tech and met, as God appointed, through caving. That can be a whole other story! They graduated together and after marriage settled in Waynesboro, PA (Tracey’s hometown) for several years. They were foster parents for 21 years and had the wonderful opportunity to open their homes to many, many children. They have three adult boys who are out on their own, with two currently married. No grandchildren yet! Their daughter Abigail still remains at home and works toward adulthood. Both Adam and Tracey have also spent many years volunteering in various roles and love sharing their gifts and time with the community God has called them to. Adam literally returned ‘home’ to serve the Lord in the community in which he was raised. They look to what is now before them!

What we believe: the Essentials of our faith

The Well is a congregation of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church.

All Scripture is self-attesting, and being Truth requires our unreserved submission in all areas of life. The infallible Word of God—the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments—is a complete and unified witness to God’s redemptive acts culminating in the incarnation of the Living Word, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible, uniquely and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, is the supreme and final authority on all matters on which it speaks. On this sure foundation, we affirm these additional essentials of our faith.

  1. We believe in one God, the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To Him be all honor, glory, and praise forever!
  2. Jesus Christ, the living Word, became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. He who is true God became true man united in one Person forever. He died on the cross a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. On the third day He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He now is our High Priest and Mediator.
  3. The Holy Spirit has come to glorify Christ and to apply the saving work of Christ to our hearts. He convicts us of sin and draws us to the Savior. Indwelling our hearts, He gives new life to us, empowers and imparts gifts to us for service. He instructs and guides us into all truth, and seals us for the day of redemption.
  4. Being estranged from God and condemned by our sinfulness, our salvation is wholly dependent upon the work of God’s free grace. God credits His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, and thereby justifies them in His sight. Only such as are born of the Holy Spirit and receive Jesus Christ become children of God and heirs of eternal life.
  5. The true Church is composed of all persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit are united together in the body of Christ. The Church finds her visible yet imperfect expression in local congregations where the Word of God is preached in its purity and the sacraments are administered in their integrity, where scriptural discipline is practiced, and where loving fellowship is maintained. For her perfecting she awaits the return of her Lord.
  6. Jesus Christ will come again to the earth personally, visibly, and bodily—to judge the living and the dead, and to consummate history and the eternal plan of God. “Even so, come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:20).
  7. The Lord Jesus Christ commands all believers to proclaim the gospel throughout the world and to make disciples of all nations. Obedience to the Great Commission requires total commitment to “Him who loved us and gave Himself for us.” He calls us to a life of self-denying love and service. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10).

The Essentials are set forth in greater detail in the Westminster Confession of Faith.
