Pastor Patton has served as the Pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church (OPC) since November, 2015. While serving on staff with a campus ministry, Pastor Patton began to see how the Old Testament is a rich and profound witness to Jesus Christ, and thus began a lifelong quest to understand the Old Testament as Christian Scripture. He explains that he is fascinated by the grand narrative of the Bible as it moves from creation to sin to redemption and on to consummation.

This fascination with the Bible led him to pursue training at Westminster Theological Seminary (Glenside, PA), where he earned an MDiv in 2009. He then went to Wheaton College (Wheaton, IL) for a PhD in Biblical Theology and Old Testament.

He has taught at Wheaton College (Wheaton, IL) and Mid-America Reformed Seminary (Dyer, IN). He also completed pastoral internships at New Life OPC (Williamsport, PA) and Bethel OPC (Wheaton, IL).

He and his wife Trina have seven dear children. As a family they love playing wiffle ball and swimming, caring for their farm, and reading out loud together.
