Adam Barton
Lead
Our lead pastor, Adam settled for ministry after it became clear the NBA wasn’t going to work out. While he claims to have made a three-pointer over Lebron James, ministry is where God has called him. He and his wife, Lisa, live in Wadsworth with their children Trinity, Gideon, Ezekiel, and MJ. Adam has a Masters in Church Leadership from Malone University and currently serves as a professor with Grace University.
Jonathan Swaney
Worship & Production
Jonathan’s love for music and Jesus come together in his passion to lead worship as our worship pastor. He is called to develop everyone on the team to be a great worship leader! He and his wife, Tera, were called to Wadsworth from Pittsburgh and are unfortunately Steelers fans. They are also foster parents, it’s one of their highest callings!

Chris Dewar
Executive
Chris rounds out our staff with a ridiculous love of the little details that make organizations run more smoothly. He spent the past 15 years planting churches in Canton, Ohio. His wife Christy has indulged his love of ridiculous ministries for the past 13 years. Together they have three children, Ayla, Audra, and Anna, as well as a puppy named Leo. He has a B.A. in Bible and Theology from Malone University, and an M.A. in Military History from Norwich University. In his free time, Chris enjoys bicycle riding, weight lifting, and indulging in his love for science fiction and other nerdy pursuits.
Stephanie Erbrick
Pastoral & Worship Administration
Stephanie has been with us at Mosaic for about a year. She is a gifted worship leader and is passionate about developing our vocalists. Steph’s eye for details and organization make her uniquely talented to juggle the multiple schedules that she manages. Steph and her husband Adam started serving in ministry together when they were still dating, and have now been married for 5 years. Steph lives for long, sunny, summer days, and will peace out the minute that we plant a Mosaic at the beach!
