Robbie Schmidtberger, Pastor

Robbie, and his wife Jennifer, led the 'planting' of Iron Works Church in 2017, hoping and praying for our church to champion the grace of God for sinners. He’s seen firsthand how people discover the gospel for the first time in the church, and he’s also seen how lifelong Christians experience the gospel afresh in churches as well. As our pastor, Robbie focuses on setting the vision for the church, preaching, developing leaders, and is available for pastoral care. He loves the quiet, pastoral work of walking alongside others on their spiritual journey to experience the freedom and renewal that Jesus gladly offers.

Robbie graduated from Grove City College, where he met Jennifer. After graduating from college, he taught high school and went to seminary. He’s served churches in various capacities in Pennsylvania and Delaware. Robbie and Jennifer, along with their two boys, live in the Roslyn neighborhood of West Chester.

In his spare time, he is likely playing with his energetic sons, running with the local running club, or fly fishing on a local stream.
