Emily DeAngelo
Adult Ministry Director - Women
Emily DeAngelo joined the Orchard Hill Church Adult Ministry Team in August 2018. After two decades of living in Carlisle, PA, she felt welcomed by the Orchard Hill family immediately upon moving to the Pittsburgh area when neighbors invited the DeAngelo family to this church.
Emily has 25 years of experience as an educator and is devoted to knowing God and making Him known to others. Before moving to Pittsburgh, she served as Director of Creativity and Curriculum for Children’s Ministry at Carlisle Evangelical Free Church, where she equipped and prepared volunteers for children's ministry. Prior to this she served in various roles as a teacher in homeschooling, private and public sectors. Emily holds an Education Degree from North Central College, Naperville, IL, and has received theological training from Evangelical Theological Seminary, Myerstown, PA.
She and her husband, Cory, have five children. The oldest three are launched into careers and marriage across the time-zones of the USA, and the youngest two are pursuing education in Pittsburgh.

“Gold for His honor, And frankincense for His pleasure, And myrrh for the cross He will suffer.” These are some of the lyrics from the song, How Many Kings, by Downhere. Gold. Frankincense. Myrrh. What is the significance of these gifts given to the newborn Savior of the world?
Imagine the taste of melt-in-your-mouth mozzarella balls covered with seasoned olive oil to remember this church word: anoint. This word is most frequently used in the Bible with a special sense to set people or objects apart or consecrate them for service to God.
I am not a preacher, but I am preaching truth to myself these days! I’m not preaching carefully crafted sermons with three solid points and illustrated stories. Rather the message to myself is a simple truth about who God is and what that means for me today.

Has anyone ever asked you to “pray hard” for a concern in their life? When this has been asked of me, I have honestly wondered what it means to pray “hard.” What does that even look like, and why would it matter in prayer?
“What is a Woman?” seems to be the current cultural question of the day since the release of the Daily Wire’s documentary. In this film, experts are interviewed to answer this single question, and repeatedly the “gender-affirming” doctors, therapists, and activists fail to define womanhood. Why?
Jesus promises that those who are willing to hear and keep the words of His love letter to His church will be blessed! Nancie Guthrie’s book, Blessed: Experiencing the Promise of the Book of Revelation, has helped me recognize the blessings of Jesus in the words of this prophecy.
Jesus was Jewish. Born into a Jewish family, He grew up going to the temple and reciting the scriptures from the Torah, the first five books of the Bible. When we consider the differences between Judaism and Christianity, it is on the question of who was Jesus Christ that most Jews and Christians divide.
During the past month of hearing about the atrocities in Afghanistan, I have daily prayed lines of scripture from Lamentations, a book of the Bible that is all about death, desolation, and devastation. But, in the middle of this Old Testament book, we are reminded of God’s love and His compassions, which never fail.
The possibilities of prayer are countless for individuals and groups, but I am going to share five ways to pray that have helped me deepen my relationship with God. Though prayer is not limited to certain techniques, practicing models for prayer has helped me improve my conversations with the One who created me to be in a relationship with Him and His people.
Asking someone who loves to read and owns a wall of books in her home library to compose a blog that contains the essential books for every Christian’s library is like requesting a favorite recipe from a chef. But here are a handful of specific titles that I think every Christian ought to have in their home library.
