Steve Literati

Vice President
"With the merger of Upper Ridgewood and Ho-Ho-Kus Community Churches, we have an extraordinary opportunity to form a vibrant, strong, and sustainable church. As Vice President of the governing body, I look forward to working with Pastor Richard, the Consistory, and the Congregation to establish the foundation of Sycamore Community Church."
Janet Wallendal

Secretary
"I was secretary at Upper Ridgewood Community Church (URCC) beginning in May 2018. I came onboard to CCHHK in 2024 when the merge of the churches took place. As secretary, I get to use my skills and talents to serve the Lord."
Andrew Lyman

Tech Director
"I served as music director at CCHHK from 2014-2023. During COVID I helped create an online worship service. Once RCC merged with CCHHK in 2024, I transitioned to the role of tech director and also became a member of the church. I’m excited to be a part of Sycamore Community Church and to help ensure our church has a vibrant online presence for the foreseeable future."
