Jeffrey DeWitt Stark, a Glenside resident and the founder and longtime director of Life Enrichment Christian Counseling Center in the Glenside section of Springfield Township, passed away on Saturday, October 24. He was 75.

Mr. Stark played football, baseball, and basketball for Upper Arlington High School and played football for Wooster College (both in Ohio) before earning a Masters of Divinity from the Westminster Theological Seminary in Glenside, his obituary said.

Mr. Stark began his counseling career in the early 1980s as a staff counselor with the Christian Counseling and Educational Center. In the late 1980s, he founded the Life Enrichment Christian Counseling Center, which also has offices in Wilmington, Delaware. He ran the practice for over 45 years and was a longtime member and Elder at New Life Presbyterian Church in Dresher, his obituary said.

“Throughout those same years Jeff has spoken at many Christian retreats and conferences on a wide variety of individual, marital and family issues. Additionally, he equips local churches through The Gospel Seminar,” his biography says.

Graveside services will be held privately in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery. Arrangements are by the Huff & Lakjer Funeral Home, Lansdale.
