PASTORS and STAFF
Rev. Seth Young – Senior Pastor
I came to know Christ my senior year in high school, and was blessed to have godly men disciple me while in college and part of CRU. My wife, Emily, and I served on staff with CRU for two years, after which we moved to St. Louis, MO to attend Covenant Theological Seminary. After seminary we moved to Greensboro, NC (where I am from) where I earned an MBA from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. After ten years of working in industry, Emily and I felt the Lord calling us to vocational ministry and so I pursued licensure and ordination in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). I was ordained in 2015 and served bi-vocationally as an Associate Pastor before accepting a call to serve at a small independent church in Huntington, WV. We made the move up to Medina in 2022 and are excited to serve alongside the wonderful people at Harvest. Emily and I were married in 2006 and have 3 boys – Luke, Drew, and Will.
Brett Wirebaugh – Associate Pastor – Family & Youth
I came to faith in Christ as an eighteen-year old, due in part to the to the influence of a local youth pastor. It was that youth pastor’s impact on my life that God eventually used to convince me of my call to youth ministry. I graduated from Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, and then enrolled at Reformed Theological Seminary (RTS) in Orlando, Florida. After receiving a Masters of Divinity degree from RTS, I was called by Providence Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Pittsburgh to be their Associate Pastor and Director of Youth and Family Ministries. After eight years, I began teaching Bible and science at Robinson Township Christian School, where I also served as Athletic Director, basketball coach and chaplain. The last two years I took on the added role of Headmaster. After serving seven years at RTCS, I was installed as Harvest’s Associate Pastor for Family and Youth in June of 2010. I completed a Doctorate of Ministry degree in 2015, and continue to enjoy students and ministering to them. Highlights of my time at Harvest include leading youth on thirteen different mission trips (two to London), and annual weekend retreats. I have also been privileged to begin an internship program at Harvest, where two different interns have joined the ministry. I look forward to many more years of impacting students with the gospel at Harvest!
Cherylene Sedletzeck – Director of Music
Music has been an integral part of my life from a very young age. Some of my
earliest memories are of singing children’s hymns and songs in Sunday School.
Throughout my school years, I studied the piano, participated in Choir and Band, and sang in our church choirs.
I received a Master’s Degree in Music Education from Indiana State University where my music concentration was piano and organ. I taught Elementary Music for fifteen years in Brazil, Indiana. During that time, I was the Choir Director and part-time pianist/organist at our church in Terre Haute, Indiana. It was there that I met my husband, Rich. We were married in 1991, and we have one grown son, Ryan.
As a member of Harvest since 2009, I have served as the Children’s Choir Director, the Youth Ensemble Director, and more recently, as the worship pianist. I truly enjoy sharing biblical truth with children and youth through carefully chosen songs of worship and praise. As the worship pianist, it is a joy for me to accompany God’s people in singing praises to Him. As the Director of Music, it is my great desire to see our congregation drawn into heartfelt worship of our God and King as we come together each Sunday morning. I desire to see God’s people use their own musical gifts and talents as an offering to Him, as together we lead our congregation in worship and praise.
Samuel Foster
As an assistant pastor at Harvest Presbyterian Church in Medina, Sam’s call is to develop Christian community in Oberlin while working as an engineer for IBM. A devoted husband and Dad, Sam also finds time for brewing, gardening, and bee keeping. He enjoys meeting God in every aspect of life.
