Pastoral Team

Jake Cordell
Lead Pastor
Jake grew up in Concord, North Carolina and has lived in Charles Town since 2015. He enjoys being with his family, reading historical biographies, Slurpees, running and playing Frisbee golf. He loves hanging out with his wife, coaching his kids’ teams, and wrestling with his kids (until one of them gets hurt)!

Lindsay Cordell
Co-Lead Pastor
Lindsay grew up in Gastonia, North Carolina and has lived in Charles Town since 2015. She enjoys spending the day at the river and working out with friends. She loves cooking, painting, decorating, and is pretty much ok with being known as the “crazy plant lady.” She is always ready to explore new places in this beautiful state of West Virginia (it’s a bonus if those places include local nurseries for more plants!)

Joel Pyron
Executive Associate Pastor
Joel was raised in Ventura, California. He joined theBridge in the spring of 2020. One of the things he loves about West Virginia is its deep historical roots. Joel’s love language is anything that involves sports- golf, running, basketball and even lawn sports. He enjoys sushi and peach cobbler (just not together). In his spare time he can be found going on local adventures with his family.
