I love to get God’s people excited to participate in God’s mission through a deeper and a continually maturing understanding of God’s Word by the power of the Spirit. I love to hear stories from octogenarians and preschoolers, young adults and young at heart. I love to gather around the table and hear stories from friends and those who are about to become one. I am married to Kris, and we have two boys, a dog (Orion), a cat (Loki), and a place in our hearts for you.

 

 

 

 

I was a teacher in Hudsonville Public Schools for seven years, until our daughter was born. Being a part of the Kids Hope ministry at Park Elementary is like “coming home” for me, and I love that I get to blend my passion for teaching with my desire for kids to know how much Jesus loves them. My husband and I have three children and some furry friends. As a family we enjoy all things related to water and sunshine, so Michigan winters can feel really long.

 

Jeff and Judi are long-time Immanuel members. Jeff has worked in Grand Rapids Public Schools since 1992 in the areas of special education and technology. Judi worked for 24 years as a medical assistant, and enjoys her role as custodian because it lets her spend time at church. Judi also likes to relax with a good book and travel. Together, they have raised their three children in Hudsonville, as well as provided foster care for numerous children throughout the years.

 

 

Hello my name is Kristal and I have the great pleasure and honor of becoming Immanuel’s newest Administrative Assistant. I am so excited to be here! I truly feel the Lord has lead me here himself and I am exactly where I need to be. I am grateful to be able to work together to Advance Christ’s Kingdom! If you see me in the office or at church, please say hello! I just love God and all his people! 🙂
