SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICE TIMES // 9:00 & 11:00 AM

Our Team

Pastors, Staff, and Elders

Derek Koone

Lead Pastor

Hi. I’m Derek. I lead our church community here at Fork. For the last two decades I have served the local church in some form or another. I believe the people of the local church being and becoming more like Jesus is the hope of the world and I love getting a chance to help people toward that end.

My wife Mallory and I have four amazing kids. As a family we love to play and watch sports, go to the pool, and play board games. We love microwaveable popcorn and JoyRide candy.

One of the things we enjoy almost more than anything else is having people in our home. People gathering together to enjoy a good meal and conversation always fill our hearts with joy! Who knows, maybe we will get to experience that with you?!?

Make sure if you see me around the church building or out and about in our community you come say hi!

Ben Cantler

Student Pastor

I’m Ben, and I’m the Student Pastor here at Fork Christian Church! I’m a devoted husband to my amazing wife Laura, and proud Superdad to my daughter and son. I’m a huge movie lover, which anyone could guess after a quick conversation with me, since I tend to jump into enthusiastic, descriptive rants about films, blurting out favorite quotes or tossing out anecdotes as if I were living inside the story myself. I have over two decades of experience in youth ministry, and it is both my calling and my passion. I love walking with students, teaching them about the life-changing hope that Jesus offers, journeying with them through these formative years, and building relationships that continue long after they graduate. At any given moment, I’m probably saving up for my next trip to Disney World.

Nick Smith

Worship and Media Arts Pastor

I joined the staff at FCC in 2018 and currently serve as the Worship and Media Arts Pastor. I have the privilege of overseeing all things music and tech, and I get to work alongside some incredible people each week who use the creative gifts God has given them to serve His church.

Music has always been a passion of mine. There’s something uniquely powerful about it—how it brings us together and gives voice to things we can’t always put into words. When that expression is combined with the truth of who God is, His unfailing love for us, and His grace toward us, it creates meaningful and powerful ways for us to worship Him.

I’ve been married to my amazing wife, Dana, since 2007, and together we have two wonderful kids and one pretty great pup. Our family is originally from Virginia but we are proud to call Maryland home!  As a family, our greatest desire is to see people meet Jesus and follow Him faithfully, and we’re incredibly grateful to get to be part of that story within the community at FCC.

Andrew Fross

Groups and Missions Pastor

Hi, I'm Andrew and I get to serve as the Groups & Missions Pastor at FCC! My greatest passion is helping people experience the love of Jesus by living on mission in community. My beautiful wife Lauren, our three kids Amelia, Alexis, and Logan, and I love adventure, making friends, and rooting for Boston sports teams. We would love to meet you!

Jill Hartsock

Church Administrator

Greetings! I’m Jill, the Church Administrator at FCC. Alongside my wonderful husband, Jon, and our two amazing kids, Nicholas and Sarah, we’ve been part of the FCC family for eight years. With two decades of experience as an administrative assistant/coordinator in the medical field, my passion lies in serving the church community. Currently pursuing my MAC, I aspire to become a biblical counselor. I enjoy hanging out with my family, playing cards with friends, and binging medical shows with my daughter Sarah.

Harold Wells

Facilities Manager

Hey there! I’m Harold, the Facilities Manager at Fork Christian Church. I’ve been a member here for over 25 years. I have extensive experience in the construction and landscaping businesses, and currently own a lawn and landscaping company. My wife and I have three sons, a daughter, and three grandchildren. I’m an avid Ravens fan and enjoy watching the game with a group of guys who have been watching football together for over 20 years. I enjoy hosting backyard barbecues and for stress relief, I enjoy challenging the staff to rounds of ping pong.

Mary Iwancio

Facilities Associate

Hi, I’m Mary Iwancio and I am the Facilities Associate working alongside Harold Wells. My husband Phil and I live in Monkton. We have two grown children and a wonderful grandson. I worked for Baltimore County before starting my own cleaning/organizing business. I love my church, the people in it and the wonderful staff that I get to work with. I am so blessed that I work at a job where I am able to put my God given talents of cleaning and organizing to use to help maintain the various buildings that make up the FCC campus. I enjoy finding new ways to serve in and around the church. When not at work you will find me spending time with my family, camping or on a beach somewhere.

Taylor Cole

Media Designer

Hi, I’m Taylor! I’ve been working in ministry for the past four years as a graphic designer and social media manager, helping churches and nonprofits create content that shares their mission in a creative way. I love being able to use design to help reach people!

I’m married to my husband, Andrew, and we love spending time with our puppy, Millie. Outside of ministry, I love painting, scrapbooking, photography, cooking, or spending time with friends and family. I’m thankful for every opportunity to serve through creativity and be part of what God is doing through the local church.
