Dr. Andrew J. DiNardo
Senior Pastor
A lover of Philly sports teams and cheesesteaks, Pastor Drew Dinardo grew up in South Jersey near his favorite city, Philadelphia.
He became a Christian in 1988 after two months of attending church with a “girl” who invited him to church (that friend is now his wife, Kristie). After one year of discipleship with Kristie’s family, he began attending Philadelphia College of Bible (now Cairn University) and graduated in 1991 (the same year he got married).
He later began serving as youth pastor at First Baptist Church and went on to receive an M.S. in Christian Counseling. In 1999 he converted to Presbyterianism and began interning at Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia and served as a Pastoral Assistant for 3 years, under his mentors Philip Ryken and Rick Phillips. In 2003 he followed Dr. Phillips, to First Presbyterian Church of Coral Springs.
He finished his Master of Divinity in 2007, was ordained, and after Dr. Phillips accepted a call in South Carolina, Dr. DiNardo was called to be Senior Pastor of FPC in 2008. He served as Senior Pastor for 12 years. During this time he also received his doctorate from the Ligonier Academy of Biblical and Theological Studies. Drew and his wife, Kristie, have four daughters: Sophia, Gabrielle (married to Tarik Harb), Rebecca, and Andreya.
