Justin Schorran
Pastor
Justin was raised in rural Kempton, Pennsylvania, where he spent his childhood and teenage years at the local New Church congregation and school.
After he graduated from the local public school, he attended Bryn Athyn College of the New Church near Philadelphia. During his second year, the work of the ministry became a serious consideration for him. Growing up in the New Church, he was regularly exposed to its profound teachings about the Lord Jesus Christ, life after death and the spiritual world. These ideas really began to sink in during his time at the College. In his courses, Justin began to realize just how close and influential the spiritual world is to all matters of life here on earth. He came to see that God loved not only him, but everyone in the universe! But he also came to recognize the importance of looking to the Lord Jesus Christ and living a life that leads to heaven.
It was at this time he realized he wanted to share the hopeful message of the New Church with others. Once he graduated college, he enrolled in the Theological School program so he could make sharing this message his very work. He graduated and was ordained in 2021. Justin spent his first three years serving the church in Canada and then moved to Boynton Beach in July of 2024.
One of his favorite ideas from New Church teaching is that the Lord’s Divine love is present within each and every truth of His Word.
Justin married Denali Heinrichs in 2021, and together they have two children.
