Pastor Mark Sallade is a Pennsylvania native.  He grew up at Covenant OPC in Reading, Pa, where his parents raised him and his three siblings in the Lord and where he professed his faith in Christ at an early age. Growing up in the OPC has nurtured in Mark a genuine love for the reformed faith.

Mark is a proud graduate of Grove City College, where he studied molecular biology and, more importantly, met his best friend and wife, Jenn.   An accomplished educator and dancer, Jenn taught at Christian schools for several years after graduation.  Late in his college studies, Mark shifted away from a medical vocation to pursue pastoral ministry, which led them to Westminster Theological Seminary.  During his studies at Westminster, Mark and Jenn were members of Calvary.  Following his graduation, Calvary called Mark to be their associate pastor, and in May 2008, to be their pastor.

In his spare time, Mark loves to sing, read, listen to music, watch the Phillies, go to museums, and spend time with his wife and daughter and friends. Mark lives with Jenn and their daughter Anna Kate in lovely Flourtown, along with their puppy, Molly.
