Rev. Evan Wildhack is a lifelong Presbyterian and Minister of Word and Sacrament in the PC(USA), currently serving as the Pastor at Central Presbyterian Church, Geneseo. Born in Panama while his father served as a Navy chaplain, Evan grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida, where his parents initially co-pastored Maximo Presbyterian Church. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Music (with a minor in Christian Education) from Westminster College in New Wilmington, PA, and a Master of Divinity from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.

 

Ordained in 2019, Evan has previously served congregations in Virginia and New York and also completed a pastoral residency in Iowa. He has been active in the life of the Presbytery of Genesee Valley ever since moving to New York in 2021. In addition to serving previously as Moderator-Elect, he was the convener of the Big Picture Team, and later Transitional Leadership Council, and was also a member of the short-lived Visioning Working Group. His role as Moderator also places him on the Mission Commission and Personnel Committee. He was one of the presbytery's Teaching Elder Commissioners to the 227th General Assembly.

 

Evan is passionate about Christ-centered worship, thoughtful preaching, congregational song, and pastoral care across the generations. A musician as well as a pastor, he plays flute and piano and sings tenor. Known for his approachable style, steady leadership, and warm sense of humor that is rarely turned off, Evan brings both creativity and care to ministry.

 

Outside the church, he enjoys television shows/franchises like Star Trek, Grey's Anatomy, and Survivor, and he also enjoys reading, hiking, swimming, long drives, and cheering on the Tampa Bay Rays.
