Our pastor

Amy Louise Visco Na was ordained in 1991 by the Presbytery of Philadelphia to be a Mission Specialist for the Presbyterian Church (USA) in Naples, Italy. There she served a children's home, Casa Materna, as a chaplain and a small Methodist church as pastor. She returned to the USA in 1994. From 1995 to 1998, Amy served as an associate pastor for Trinity Presbyterian Church in Cherry Hill, NJ.  In 1998, Amy and her family moved to New Castle, PA and she joined the Presbytery of Shenango. She served as the chaplain of Shenango Presbyterian SeniorCare in New Wilmington for 19 years and full time installed pastor of Shenango Presbyterian Church for 11 years. In 2018, Amy moved back to the Philadelphia Presbytery. Since then she has served Ivyland Presbyterian Church. Additionally, she is the chaplain for the Bucks County Department of Corrections. At home these days are her mother-in-law and her husband, Kang Na, who works as the pastoral manager at Ann’s Choice in Warminster, PA. Children, Christian, 29 lives and works in Pittsburgh, Laura, 27, a nurse in the US Air Force and Sofia, 26, is a member of the PTS class of 2026 are among her greatest blessings. .

Amy is in the office most days (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday 9-4pm). Call her on her cell anytime. She counts her work in the church a privilege. 

Our music 
director








Jaclyn Cohen was born and raised in Wynnewood, Pa. At age 4, she showed a real affinity for the piano and started learning to play with the wonderful Ms. Grace Lindeberg. Jackie moved on to study with Ms. Susan Starr of the Curtis Institute of Philadelphia and then Dr. Joseph Barone of the Bryn Mawr Conservatory. As a Lower Merion High student, she was the choir accompanist and theater accompanist as well. While attending Boston University as a piano performance major, she received her music bachelor’s degree with honors. She was the BU accompanist for the women’s chorus. For the past 25 years, Jackie is a sought after musician/ teacher. Today she is a church music director for Ivyland Presbyterian Church, an accompanist for Abington School District, an instructor for the Ambler Station Singers and a private lessons instructor to many people of all ages. Classically trained and accomplished in all styles of music, Jackie enjoys playing wonderful music and working with great people.
