Clair Good – Senior Pastor
Clair Good is excited to be joining Waynesboro Mennonite Church. He comes as an experienced pastor and church planter in the USA and has spent many years as a missionary/develolpment worker in D.R. Congo, and Kenya. Clair says, “One of the most exciting things about Waynesboro Mennonite Church is summed up in its tag line. Imperfect people reflecting God’s love. I anticipate all of us walking toward Jesus as our lives are changed in spite of our imperfections. I am impressed with the gift of open hospitality in the church and the ability to embrace people.”

Phil Lehman – Associate Pastor
I moved here to Waynesboro in 2012 from Broadway, VA with my wife and 2 children. The town of Waynesboro has quickly found a special place in our heart, the church has welcomed us, and we have a special appreciation for our church family here.
I attended Eastern Mennonite College and Seminary, graduating with a BA in music, BS in camping, recreation and youth ministries, and a MA in church leadership.
One of the most unique experiences in our families life was church planting in Bari, Italy for ten years. We learned to speak Italian, to love Italian food, soccer, and culture. When I am not involved in church activities you will probably find me enjoying time watching sports, in the woods hunting or hiking, hanging out with friends, along the river fishing, or in my backyard gardening.

Brenda Prochaska – Church Secretary
As a lifelong resident of Waynesboro, I never cease to be amazed at the beauty that surrounds us here in the Shenandoah Valley. I am most blessed by the beautiful friendships that have, and continue to enrich my life.
My past work experience as an administrative assistant includes ten years with Waynesboro’s Department of Social Services, and thirteen years with a non-profit organization that provides free tutoring for area high school students.
Along with routine office duties, eighteen years as church secretary has provided numerous opportunities to give and receive encouragement from those whom God brings into my life.
Bible study, reading, music, piano, watching old movies, baking, traveling with my husband, spending time with family and friends are activities that bring me much joy!
