Joey Monteleone serves at Long Hill Chapel as the Worship Pastor. He is married to Elena, and they have 4 children. Joey was brought on staff in 2020 to help the church with digital worship during Covid. It was once he started attending and leading worship in person that he fell in love with the people. He saw a welcoming community that was centered on Jesus and each other.  The community cared for Joey, his wife, and his kids in a way that was powerful. It was something he wanted not only for his family but for himself.

Carolyn Majors serves at Long Hill Chapel as the Preschool Director. She has twin girls and previously served as the Head Teacher for the Rising 5s and 3s, respectively.  After a career in hospitality and a family history rooted in ministry, Carolyn felt called to make a change, which brought her to Long Hill Christian Preschool. While at the preschool, she felt drawn to LHC and became part of the church community. As the Preschool Director, Carolyn combines her passion for education and faith to support LHCP's children and families.

Stephanie Welsh serves at Long Hill Chapel as the Church Administrator. She is married to Ike, and they have 2 girls. Before working at LHC, she was a stay-at-home mom looking for a family-friendly position as her children entered elementary school. With her family's faithful beliefs and her business background, the position at LHC was the perfect fit. 

Sarah Harrington serves at Long Hill Chapel as the Director of Communications.
She is married to Dan, and they have 3 boys. The Covid pandemic is how Sarah and her family found LHC, as they were seeking out a church that provided services online. They knew they found their home once they started attending in person and saw children excitedly running around in droves on the way to Sunday school.
