Seth Hankee

Lead Pastor | Elder

 Ever since they met, Seth & Melissa have shared a passion for connecting with people and sharing their lives with them.  Seth and Melissa have ministered at Greenmonte since 2004 when they began a work called "LaFa," ministering to young adults in the Shenandoah Valley.  Since that time they continue to minister in a number of ways including ministry to married couples and families as well as teens. Seth served as pastor of worship and outreach at Greenmonte starting in 2004, when he moved to Stuarts Draft upon graduating from seminary.  In May 2015 Seth was called to be the lead pastor of Greenmonte.  Seth has a heart to see the larger body of Christ unified and working together to share Jesus' love and build His Kingdom.  In his free time he enjoys playing with his kids, playing guitar, watching sports, taking walks with his wife, reading the news and drinking coffee.

The two were married and spent 10 years in Oregon, where their two sons were born. A move to Waynesboro,  Liza's home town, led to Randy starting his own solar installation business. Always passionate about God's Word, Randy now gives away Bibles to each of his solar customers. He also joined the Gideons and is on the board for Risen Ridge, a newly formed horse therapy ministry. He and Liza still love travel, even if it's just to a new location in Virginia.
