Randy Prentiss, Pastor

In 2001, I became the Youth Pastor at the Hopewell Reformed Church. Following that, I was ordained as a Minster of Word and Sacrament with the RCA in 2008. After 12 years at Hopewell, mostly doing Youth Ministry, I took a call as Pastor of the Arlington Reformed Church for 6 years.

When that ended, in one of those “I never saw this coming” moves, God provided a job for me at the Taconic Retreat Center. I was surprised and pleased by how much I enjoyed that ministry. I worked mostly as the Associate Director and Staff Chaplain.

At the beginning of 2021, I experienced another one of those “I never saw this coming” moments. I did not foresee an opportunity to get back into church work, but in January of 2021 I became the part-time, contract Pastor at Saugerties Reformed Church. Lisa and I both enjoy being a part of this church fellowship and are learning a lot.

It just confirms what I heard a pastor say a few years ago, “God is already present in the future that we are anxious about.”

Cindy Bloom, Administrative Assistant

Cindy has been with the church since 2004. She works in the office part-time, normally Tuesday afternoons and Thursday mornings. Her contribution is essential to the smooth running of the church. She makes it as easy as possible for church members to carry out the tasks they've volunteered for, and works with the Pastor and Music Director to implement their plans and vision for the church.

I have been married to Lisa since 1984. We have three adult children, Sam, Ben and Wydea.
Lisa was born and raised in Dutchess County, while I grew up on Long Island. Growing up, neither my family nor I were regular church goers. I came to faith in Christ in 1980, when I was 25, through the faithful witness of a group of friends.

For decades Lisa and I did youth ministry together, as volunteers in a local church and then on staff with Young Life.
