Brian began here at the Mars UP Church in July of 2021 after serving two churches in north-west PA for seven years. Prior to pastoral ministry Rev. Hauser served the greater church in a variety of ways including youth leader, deacon, campus ministry student board member, and Pine Springs Camp counselor.
A graduate from Clarion University, Brian earned a bachelors degree in Elem. Education before attending Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary where he graduated in 2014 with a M. Div.
Among Brian's greatest redeeming features is his marriage to his superwoman bride, Ashley, in 2012. Ashley is a home-maker caring for their five children, Luke, Mary, Hannah, Leah, and Jacob as well as their yellow lab named Tiger. Rev. Hauser is community oriented and focused on welcoming all into the faith community. Family is at the heart of Brian's ministry, seeking to build relationships within the family of God.
A western Pennsylvanian by birth, Brian enjoys rooting for all Pittsburgh sports teams. He is especially excited to live so close to the Pittsburgh Penguins practice facility. In what spare time exists Brian enjoys being in God's creation through sports, hiking, and hunting. He has also joined the A-Team.
