I grew up in Charlevoix and in this church. Attended Reformed Bible College (Kuyper College) and graduated from Western Seminary with a masters in Christian Education. I am the owner of one Old English Sheepdog (or I should say he owns me) and I love to read, be in the outdoors and Tiger Baseball. I’ve served here in different capacities over the last 30+ years including; youth ministry, children’s ministry, adult ministry, and local outreach.
