Pastor Bob Guaglione is a native of the Philadelphia area and attended Widener University, where he majored in economics and was an All-American basketball player.

Bob sensed a call on his life to plant a church in the Delaware County area, when God gave him and his wife, Monica, this scripture:

Isaiah 43:18-20:

Do not remember the former things Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert To give drink to My people, My chosen.

While preparing for ministry, Bob worked for 12 years at Boeing Helicopters. He also served at various positions in his local church, including youth pastor, usher, and home fellowship leader. Also during this time, Bob completed two years of ministry training at Calvary Chapel of Philadelphia and was later ordained by Pastor Chuck Smith. Bob enjoys all sports, the arts, and the outdoors. He and Monica presently reside in Mullica Hill, N.J., and have four children: Amanda, Michael, Leah, and Carly.
