Rev. Dr. Ted Martin
Senior Pastor
Pastor Ted is an avid skier who enjoys the outdoors, cycling, photography, and when he has time, working with wood or crafting stories. He has a deep passion for mission as he has spent time in a variety of domestic and international mission settings. He married his college sweetheart, Becky, in 1986 and they have one son, Caleb.
Serving the people who worship at Hampton Presbyterian Church is a joy and a thrill for Ted. In his own words, “We share a common vision for ministry.”
Rev. Ryan Pixton
Associate Pastor of Youth & Outreach
Ryan loves sports and is a big Penguins fan. Outside of sports Ryan has grown in his love for board games and has developed quite the collection. Ryan also loves music, although he is not as musically talented as his wife, Debbie. In college, he and some friends had a Christian Alternative radio show on the local campus station. His favorite band is Jars of Clay.
Ryan and his wife have two daughters, Sarah and Anna.
Karen Shumaker
Director of Children & Family Ministries
A kid at heart, Karen has always thought that the “Kids’ Table" at any event was the most fun and interesting place to be. She loves that she gets to work with HPC’s kids and families and considers it an incredible privilege to partner with parents in helping kids to experience God’s love, to know God’s story, and to grow in their love for God and others.
She and her husband, Greg, have three children. Karen enjoys spending time with family and friends, listening to live music, going for walks, taking road trips, “traveling" to Sheetz for an occasional Mallo Cup, and using commas.
Kerry Broker
Director of Choral Music Ministries
Kerry grew up in a home where music and ministry were part of everyday life—thanks to her two music teacher parents and an older sister who’s also a violinist. She’s a professional violinist with a heart for worship and loves bringing joy to others through music—whether leading a choir, playing in a symphony, or singing in her father-daughter band, “KB and the Sunshine Band”.
When she’s not making music, Kerry enjoys getting lost in a good book, hunting down the perfect cup of coffee, and trying (with mixed results) to keep her houseplants alive. She’s an animal lover, especially fond of her parents’ three cats, who treat her visits with just the right amount of judgment and affection. Kerry is excited to be part of the Hampton Presbyterian family and looks forward to making music that lifts hearts and spirits.
