Pastor Barry has been married to Sue since 1992. They have three, grown sons who also serve in various ministries in the church.

It was at that time that Barry completed his seminary training and was serving as a Youth Pastor in a different church in Monmouth County.

After their first son was born, Barry & Sue returned to this church where Sue grew up and joined the following year.

Pastor Barry began his ministry at HBC by helping to develop a Worship Team with several other church members until it became established. Then in the late 90s’ and early 2000’s he took on the responsibility as the High School teacher in the Christian Academy. He also directed the school plays during those next seven years.

In 2003, the current Elder Board invited Barry to join them as church leaders and he was voted in January of 2003. When the Sr. Pastor (also the Academy Principal) became a seminary professor, the role of Sr. Pastor/Principle was offered to Barry in 2006. While the school officially closed in 2019, Barry has served in the role of Sr. Pastor ever since.

Then since 2021, he has also become a Police Chaplain for the Hazlet Township Police Department as he works with Law Enforcement and the Township leaders and Recreation Department of Hazlet.
