HI, WE’RE PETER AND COURTNEY GOOD.

“Wherever, forever.” From the time we were engaged and all throughout our marriage, we spoke these words to one another as both a promise and a statement brimming with expectancy. That “wherever” turned out to be Greece.

We both grew up outside of Reading, Pennsylvania, and we met as kids when our families started attending Glad Tidings Assembly of God in Reading, PA. We grew up as friends and both felt a call to ministry at a young age (Courtney at 8 and Peter at 16). Both of us received our ministry degrees from the University of Valley Forge.

In 2009, after three years of dating, we were married. Courtney served as a pastor on staff at Glad Tidings from 2005 to 2014 in various roles (student ministry, missions and outreach, and assimilation). Peter was self-employed in construction and landscape before following the call to ministry, but was highly involved at Glad Tidings and interned in the areas of worship, media, student ministry, and stage design.

Peter became the director of the young adult ministry in 2011, and in late 2012, he led a team of college students on a service trip to Greece, where we felt the prompting of the Holy Spirit to move to Greece to build the local church. In 2015, we followed God’s call on our lives and moved to Thessaloniki, Greece. Since arriving here, we’ve had two babies, our daughter, Maevin, and our son, Britton. Read below to learn more about why Greece and what our ministry here looks like.

Peter and Courtney are currently lead pastors at Zoe Church in Thessaloniki.
