Their five children range from second grade up to early college. Dave studied philosophy during college at the University of Southern California before his MDiv at Westminster Seminary California and his PhD through Calvin Theological Seminary. Elizabeth also has graduate degrees in Bible and theology from Westminster and Calvin – currently being put to good use as an acquisitions editor for P&R. As a family, the Holmlunds enjoy sports and humor and opportunities to travel together. They all love spending time with friends inside and outside of church.

Elder Geoff Brock retired from a career in engineering, information technology and municipal service, and now he is able to use his time to serve the church and serve his community in East Falls. Geoff is married to Charlene, and they have four children and a number of grandchildren spread out from the Philly area to the west coast.
