BPC is in the process of searching for a new full-time pastor. As per the Presbyterian Church USA system (PCUSA), BPC now employs a “stated supply” pastor, who helps with pastoral, preaching, and staff-related tasks until an interim pastor joins the staff. The Rev. Jay Click is our stated supply pastor, and he may be reached at jay@burkepreschurch.org.
An interim senior pastor serves until a full-time pastor is selected by a Pastor Nominating Committee and the Session of BPC and approved by the congregation. We will post information about our interim pastor as soon as we are able. To learn more about this transitions process under the PCUSA system (BPC falls under the National Capital Presbytery), click here. You can scroll to the bottom of the page and read the section called “When Pastoral Relationships End.”
Also on our staff is Associate Pastor for Youth Ministry Adam Ogg (see below).
Our summer will be filled with outstanding guest preachers, so be sure to stop by and see us!
The Reverend Adam Ogg
Associate Pastor for Youth Ministry

Adam grew up in Ojai, a small town in Southern California, not far from the beach. He does indeed know how to surf but is quite terrible at it. He grew up going to Ojai Presbyterian Church, and became clearly aware of how Protestant he was by attending a Catholic institution for his years in high school.
Being challenged to think about his faith during these formative years, this led him to attend Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington where he studied Theology. After several different experiences in youth ministry, Adam felt the call and inspiration to go into ministry. He went on to attend Princeton Theological Seminary. While there he fell in love with reading and learning while figuring out his calling, in both an urban ministry setting, as well as a stint as an interim youth director.
After graduating, he worked in a seminary-owned garden and as an assistant cheese-maker at a dairy until he moved to serve as the intern at Siesta Key Chapel, a Presbyterian church in Sarasota, Florida. After a year he accepted the call and moved to Burke. Adam is excited and grateful to take part in the ministry of Burke Presbyterian Church!
Outside of BPC, Adam enjoys podcasts and audiobooks, music, running, or some combination thereof. He can be found hanging out in coffee shops with a good book, seeing live music, or throwing a Frisbee in the park.
