TIM JOHANSEN

PASTOR

Pastor Tim Johansen has been serving Temple Lutheran Church since 2012. In his time with us, we have experienced much growth, and our horizons have been expanded as we learn about new ways to welcome God's people. Pastor Tim has a heart for those on the margins, and has been actively working among those with substance abuse disorder, and those with developmental and intellectual disabilities.
Pastor Tim is dedicated to identifying God's presence in the ordinary and mundane aspects of our life.  He believes that everything is sacred, and everything can teach us something about the Good News of Jesus.
Tim has a Master of Divinity from the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Philadelphia and a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY. He is married to Mary, a Delaware County native, and they have three children:  Leo, Gus and Sam

FLORRIE MARKS

DIRECTOR OF MUSIC MINISTRIES

Florrie Marks joined the music staff at Temple Lutheran Church in September 1999 as keyboardist/pianist. Since September 2010, she has been Director of Music Ministries: our organist; pianist; director of the chancel choir, handbell choir, instrumental ensemble, and children’s choir; and director (guitar, vocals, keyboard, arranger) of Kenaniah, the church’s praise band – basically, anything that involves music at Temple. Florrie is also active in the Philadelphia area as music director of many high school, college, and community theater groups, and she is a past recipient of the Best Musical Director award at the International Gilbert & Sullivan Festival. Before coming to Temple, Florrie was a professional violinist in the New York City area.

ROB MANNIX

DIRECTOR OF DISCIPLESHIP

Rob has been a mission partner of our congregation for several years, and recently joined our staff as the Director of Discipleship.  Rob is helping us foster an atmosphere and culture of caring, community and mission. Rob graduated from the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Philadelphia with a Master of Divinity degree in 2010, and served in a position similar to the current one at Covenant United Methodist Church for six years prior to joining Temple.  Rob lives in Springfield with his wife Karen Kampmeyer-Mannix, and two of their children. Noah is twenty and attending DCCC, and Anna is a Sophomore at Springfield High School. Their two older children are married and live locally, which is a blessing for family get togethers which include their soon to be two year old grand-baby.  Rob continues to work full time as a Quality Engineer with the Department of Defense at a contractor in Kennett Square, PA. Rob enjoys the outdoors both at home and on hiking trips, and the family enjoys traveling together.

DARCY MANNION

PARISH ADMINISTRATOR

Darcy has been working as our Parish Administrator since April 2022. Darcy is married to Dave and they have three children. They moved to Havertown in 2012, and from the first visit to Temple knew it was their church. Darcy feels fortunate to work within the church as it is her goal to continue becoming more involved with the works of TLC.

CALVIN LAWLER

CUSTODIAN

Calvin started work at Temple about 29 years ago. He is our custodian and so much more. He is well known as the “Mayor of Brookline Blvd”, cheerfully representing the church and extending God’s love and care in our community. He has a special mission to the children in our community, especially the Great Beginnings Day Care—to show that men of color are loving, caring, funny and not scary. His family and church are both extremely important to him and he serves both with love.
