Jordan Rafferty
Treasurer
Jordan Rafferty and his wife, Julie, and their three children – Jude, Lucille, and Annabelle – are recently settled in Purcellville, VA. The move of his family to Purcellville was motivated, in part, by a desire to be closer to the Church of Our Saviour, where they have been attending since the Fall of 2020. Along with others in the parish, Jordan is eager to see the continued development of a robust community life which will stand as a bulwark against the culture which seems, at times, intent on undermining the flourishing of our members.
Jordan works as a Manager of Accounting and Financial Reporting for Prison Fellowship, a national Christian prison ministry headquartered in Lansdowne, VA. Prior to his work with Prison Fellowship, he did his time as an auditor at a public accounting firm. He currently serves on the Board of Trustees for the Diocese of the Central States.
When not “bean counting,” as his family affectionately describes his work, Jordan can be found outside with his family and 16 new chickens. He enjoys taking on new woodworking projects, which tend to take much longer with the assistance of his newly minted apprentice, Jude – 3 years old. He also enjoys reading and discussing theology and philosophy and is grateful to be part of a church with members who have much to offer in those discussions. Each summer his family takes a trip to a lake in Maine, where they engage in water sports, volleyball, and spend as much time outdoors as they can manage.
Mark Mitchell
Mark Mitchell and his family have been attending COOS since fall of 2020. He and his wife, Joby, have four children: Seth, Noah, Scott (married to Chloe), and Tana all of whom were homeschooled. They have a small farm outside of Purcellville where they raise chickens, a few steers, grapes, a garden, and do battle with a multitude of deer.
He is currently Dean of Academic Affairs and Professor of Government at Patrick Henry College where he has taught since 2002. He is the author or co-editor of eight books and is currently working on a book on the philosophy and theology of digital technology and artificial intelligence.
He was raised in Montana and Idaho and looks forward to a trek west each summer to visit family and fly fish in the clear mountain waters where lurks the elusive westslope cutthroat trout.
Truett Young
Truett Young and his family have been attending Church of Our Savior since 2021. He and his wife, Lisa, have lived in Haymarket for the past 10 years and have four children: Addison, Grace, Hatcher, and Caton.

He is a native of Louisiana but has resided in Northern Virginia for the past 30 years. Being raised in warmer temperatures of the south, he has come to enjoy his annual family vacation to the Adirondak Mountains in upstate New York every August.
