Year-Round Staff - Tom Johnson-Medland
Tom and Glinda Johnson-Medland met while serving in ministry at a children's home in Bucks County, PA. Tom came from Southampton, PA and Glinda from Watertown Connecticut. They married in 1986.
Tom accepted Christ at the Plateau in 1975. He was an avid HILL camper. Tom went to school at Gordon College, Penn State University and finished up at Thomas Edison State College. He majored in Medieval Studies throughout his college career. He worked in restaurants after school as both a head server and a full-service manager. In 1996 after attending Seminary at St. Tychon's (and later Seraphim's) Tom was ordained and began working as a full-time hospice chaplain. He has been with hospice ever since, most recently serving as Director of Project Development + IT.
Glinda attended Philadelphia College of Bible (now PBU) as a Social Work and Missions major. She earned her MSW from Temple and has practiced Clinical Social Work and Counseling for over twenty five years in a variety of settings. For the past ten years she has cared for children at Easter Seals of Southeastern PA.
Their two boys, Zachary Aidan and Josiah Gabriel, love to camp, hike, draw, and sing. Both of the boys have fallen in love with the Plateau and are elated to be a part of the staff family. Scouting and soccer are also an important part of their life.
