About Us

Pastor Terrence Alspaugh
The Reverend E. Terrence Alspaugh was installed as Pastor of Granite Presbyterian Church on October 14, 2012.   Prior to serving the Granite congregation, he served as an Associate Pastor of Christ Our King Presbyterian (Bel Air) and Second Presbyterian (Baltimore) in the Baltimore Presbytery, of which he has been a member for almost 30 years.   He is married to Leslie Parsley Alspaugh, and she, along with their son Greg, are enthusiastic members of the Granite congregation.

Terrence completed the Master of Divinity at Princeton Theological Seminary,  Master of Science in Clinical Community Counseling at Johns Hopkins University, and Bachelor of Arts at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill.  He is also a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland, Certified Family Trauma Professional, and participating clinician in the network of Physicians for Human Rights.  In his part-time clinical practice, he counsels refugees, asylum seekers, adults, families, and couples.

Pat Hoover, Director of Music and Organist
Susie Reisdorf, Choir Director

Pat Hoover has been faithfully leading God's people in worship with the gift of music for almost fifty years.  In her selection of  preludes, anthems, offertory music, and postludes for each worship service, Pat reviews the scripture texts for the day and considers the potential focus of the sermon.  Her discernment is remarkable!  As the pastor often observes, when the choir sings the anthem before the sermon, it is as if Pat has already heard the sermon and has chosen an anthem that best complements the message for the day.  On many Sundays, the choir almost sings the sermon before it is even preached!  With musical sensitivity and theological depth, Pat Hoover and the choir, under the leadership of Choir Director Susie Reisdorf, truly help to lead God's people with wonderful music in worship.
