Marla Golden

High School Leader

Marla joined APC in 2009, along with her husband and two sons, after years of searching for a church home. She has served in many capacities at APC, including Deacon and Sunday school teacher. By far the most amazing thing that happened took place about 15 minutes after becoming a member of the church, when she was invited to serve as a middle school shepherd at Crossroads Youth Ministry. Little did she know that this simple “yes” would lead to a calling to youth ministry, and a later in life career change. Marla has spent 11 years as a shepherd, and is thrilled to be joining the Crossroads staff. She is also pursuing a master’s degree in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness at NYU, which is the other part of the career change. Marla loves to play pickleball, walk with friends, and spend time in the garden. Also, if it’s snowing, Marla probably prayed for it.

Isaac Meerwarth

Middle School Leader

Isaac was born in Cambridge, New York. In 2006 he moved to NJ from the small town of Otley, Iowa. His hobbies include running, traveling, and hacking on OpenBSD. A fun fact about Isaac is that he has been to 10 countries and 31 States!

Isaac has been leading at Crossroads in many different volunteer capacities since 2012. He was lead to the position at Crossroads by his heart for God and his love for the youth of Allentown. He is humbled and excited to work alongside staff and volunteers to make Crossroads is a different place.

Courtney grew up in Allentown. When she was in elementary school, she began to attend APC on a regular basis with her family. In addition to attending church and Sunday school, She was part of the R.O.C.K. program and when she reached 6th grade, she started attending Crossroads.

Courtney became very involved with Crossroads as a student. Throughout her time there, she was on the leadership team multiple times, attended every retreat and went to just about every event they had. As soon as she graduated high school in 2015, she became a middle school shepherd. For the past few years, Courtney has been volunteering at Crossroads as a shepherd, giving her creative input at planning meetings and serving as the middle school retreat coordinator.
