PCC's Elders (left to right): Charlie Carmichael, Paul Pettijohn, Rich Campbell, Dane Small, Frank Satchell, Tom Kenney

Tom Kenney
Tom was reared in Norfolk at our parent church, Tabernacle Church of Norfolk. His undergraduate years at Virginia Tech (Business Mgt '75) were the years God made Himself real to Tom. His heart for ministry was shaped by Inter Varsity Christian Fellowship , a ministry he joined upon graduation (and marriage to Mabel). They served IVCF in a pioneering staff position at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN, for three years. During that time the Kenneys developed a heart for family ministry through their church involvement. So in 1978 they moved to Philadelphia and Tom earned a Masters of Divinity at Westminster Theological Seminary ('82). In 1983 Tabernacle Church asked Tom to lead their church plant effort on the Peninsula, the Chapel. He and Mabel have reared their four children here.  Basketball and tennis are his interests. Tom serves on the Metro Board of the YMCA and is excited about the possibilities for ministry the Y's Mission Statement  and local leadership afford.

Paul Pettijohn

Paul is the International Director of the Military Ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ.  He develops strategy and equips indigenous leaders in the militaries of the nations of the world.  He has a heart to help further develop a culture of prayer at PCC.  He is the Imagine Campaign Prayer Team Leader and provides leadership for the weekly prayer focus areas classes. He and his wife, Lorraine, host the Yorkshire Downs Home Group.  He is a graduate of the University of Iowa and earned a Master of Divinity from Denver Theological Seminary.  He was converted as an officer in the Air Force and as a result has a burden for the military worldwide.  He served as the Executive Director of the Officers’ Christian Fellowship for 22 years.  They have two daughters that are married to Army officers who are involved in Christian ministry and have been blessed with four grandchildren.

Charlie Carmichael

Charlie was born and reared in Dillon SC.  He graduated from Clemson University in 1978 with a degree in Agricultural Economics.  After a 20-year career in the Air Force, he is now a contracts manager for a firm within the defense industry.  He loves serving the Lord in the Vital Contacts Ministry and is an advocate for the Crown Financial Ministries program within the Chapel.  He is married to Linda, his wife of 28 plus years, and they are the proud parents of two grown children, Daniel and Sally.  He enjoys jogging, golf, fishing, and watching college football.
Dane Small
Dane Small leads the Tabb Lakes Home Group which began in 1999 and currently meets Wednesday nights at 7pm.  He is a retired Air Force officer.  Dane and his wife Lemma, have attended PCC since 1985.  In between that time the Air Force sent them off a few times, but they managed to return.  Dane and Lemma have two sons: Matthew and David.  Dane is involved with the Ridley tutoring program and went on PCC's inaugural mission trip to Kenya where they visited both our partner church, KCC and the Boni tribes.  Dane enjoys serving the Lord in any capacity, acting in plays, singing, playing golf, basketball, and Madden Football.

Rich Campbell

Rich and Sue were married in 1976 and came to the Chapel in 1990 with their two sons, Paul and Matthew. In addition to service on the Board of Elders, he has served as a Home Group leader, as an Adult Discipleship Course teacher, with the Ridley inner-city Soccer ministry, and on the coffee team. Rich is currently involved with the Central Asia Task Force and the Life Helpers ministries. He has done aeronautics research at NASA since 1974. Avocations include soccer, surfing and biking.

Frank Satchell

Frank is a native of Hampton where he met and married Elizabeth over 40 years ago.  They have two children and ten grandchildren – a clan in which the gospel is taking a firm hold.  God’s mission was carried out by Frank as a 44-year employee of the Shipyard.  Many of us have met Apprentice School students who learned math from “Mr. Satchell”, a role he filled for 34 years.  When he retired in 2006, he began teaching Algebra at Summit Christian Academy. Since coming to us in 1990, Frank and Elizabeth have over 10 years of experience in our Ridley inner-city tutoring ministry as well as serving at Nehemiah’s Nook feeding the homeless.  Leading and hosting Home Groups have been a big part of the Satchells’ service to the Chapel since they came. Among the spiritual gifts Frank brings to the Board are mercy, teaching and administration. Frank has a passion for men's discipleship both one-on-one and in larger groups and has been involved in prison ministry.
