OUR STAFF
Kurtis Himmelberger, Pastor
I am a passionate, dedicated follower of Christ Jesus, seeking to serve as a pastor and servant.
I was born and raised in Church, attending the Royersford Church of the Nazarene under the wonderful leadership of many faithful believers. In 2009, God gifted me Tori, the most wonderful wife I could ever hope for. We’ve been married for 13 years, and I can hardly wait for the years yet to come.
Together, we submitted our family to God’s nudging toward the mission field of foster care. We currently have five children: two by birth, and three by adoption. We’ve been abundantly blessed to have also been “Mom and Dad” to several other children in our home over the past seven years. God has truly sowed a passion in us for the “least of these”, and it has grown to span far beyond our family fostering ministry.
When I’m not studying or cheerfully moseying my way down Biblical rabbit trails, I can be found at the river with my fishing pole, hiking with my family, on youth group events, or building a diverse range of friendships with members of my community. I also enjoy light carpentry, blacksmithing, and playing around on my guitar or my mandolin.

Mary F. Thomas, Administrative Assistant
I have been serving in the role of Administrative Assistant since August 2016. Before coming to State Line UMC, I had previous experience in emergency travel assistance, corporate training and human resources. I met my husband, James, at Mount St. Mary’s College in 1992 and we were married in the college chapel in 1998. We have two children who are active in sports, music and the church our family attends. As a parent of a special-needs child, I find enjoyment in renewing activities like running, walking and yoga. When I have the time, I make stained-glass windows for my family and friends. This job has been a wonderful addition to my life. I enjoy seeing the friends I have made in this congregation, helping out on projects and praying with the Thursday morning Bible Study group.

Jeffrey Wine, Pianist
I started playing the piano at the age of five! Although I only took lessons for a few years (from my mother, Bonnie), I stuck with it and eventually began playing in church and school. As a teen, I served as piano accompanist for my high school show choir, which gave me the opportunity to perform at Disney World! I then played the piano in college for a few years. Since then, I have played for weddings, banquets, musicals and currently play with the Williamsport Ambassadors Jazz Band. Prior to coming to State Line UMC in 2013, I played the piano, sang in the adult choir, and directed the children's choirs at Greencastle Presbyterian Church for 14 years.
I grew up in Williamsport, Maryland, and now reside in Falling Waters, West Virginia. My "day job" is Creative Services Director for Alpha Media. I also am a part-time actor, having been involved in numerous theatrical productions throughout the area, primarily as an actor, director or music director. I have even appeared in some national TV shows that have filmed in the area! When not working or doing something related to the performing arts, I enjoy working out, biking, hiking, watching thrillers, traveling and being on the beach. I also am addicted to "Words With Friends." I thank God every single day for the gift of music and blessing me with these talents.
