CASSIE SEMLER, DIRECTOR OF FAITH FORMATION
My name is Cassie Semler, and I am the Faith Formation Director at CPCBA. I work with all age groups, but especially the youth of the church. I’ve been working in ministry for a decade, and am getting my Master’s of Divinity at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. Allowing a brave space for all to ask the tough questions and feel comfortable in sitting with the mysteries of God is an important aspect of our work together. All (all genders, sexualities, nationalities, languages, origins, races, creeds, social status, etc.) are welcomed and affirmed!
I am a mother of 3 and a wife to an amazing partner, Tyler. We have 2 cats and a dog, and all of them love to go on hikes with us. When not working, you will usually find me reading or listening to music with my kiddos. I am a huge fan of Disney! I am a Pittsburgh transplant, but am learning to love the Steelers and Pirates anyways. My office door and email inbox are always open, and I look forward to talking with you!nce.
Tim Heavner, Music Director and Organist
Since the fall of 2015, I have served as the Music Director and Organist at CPCBA. I currently teach Band and Musical Theatre classes at Sewickley Academy and perform as an accompanist and vocalist with the Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh. Originally from Anchorage, Alaska, I came to Pittsburgh by way of New York City; professionally, I have maintained an active life as a teacher, performer, and musical director across various genres. I earned a degree in Piano Performance from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, have pursued graduate studies in Vocal Accompanying at the Manhattan School of Music, and am currently pursuing a Master's in Music Education at the VanderCook College of Music in Chicago. I presently live in Beaver, PA, and I am the proud father of two artistic sons, Benjamin and Tristan.
