The Rev. Dr. Jack Aupperle has been a favorite of the Westminster Seminars for many years. His broad knowledge of Christianity and history combine with his trademark wit to engage audiences on challenging subjects of faith. A native of Pittsburgh, Dr. Aupperle served several Methodist churches and since 1983 he has taught at Saint Vincent College. He has also lectured widely and served in various campus ministries. He and his wife, Barbara, recently moved to the Reading area to be near their daughter. We are delighted that he can be with us via Zoom.
