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.

 

Hi! I am wife to Mark for 37 years ( and counting), mom to 3, and grandma to 6! I have been in youth ministry over 27 years, and I am privileged to work with the kids and friends of ICRC. I can’t WAIT to see all that God has for us as we journey life together!

 

 

My wife and I have three kids, so there’s never a dull moment! With all of the band concerts, choir concerts, volleyball games, baseball games, swim meets, etc., it’s such a joy for us to watch our children grow up and see that God has become intertwined in their lives. We are blessed!

 

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.

 

 

I have had the privilege of working at Immanuel the past 24 years.  I very much enjoy working in the church office and the opportunity to interact with so many wonderful people.  Before becoming a mom, I worked in the Purchasing Dept. at Keeler Brass Co.

My husband, Norm, & I have 2 married children & 4 little granddaughters who are so much fun!  They are such a blessing in our lives!

I love reading, classic car shows, camping and Lake MI beaches.

 

I enjoy hiking, camping and relaxing at the beach with family and friends. I’m proud to call myself a Michigan native, but more importantly I’m honored to be called a daughter of the most High King!  In 2016, I stepped away from a traditional nursing position to pursue parish nursing and a visiting ministry at Immanuel. It has been a beautiful journey of faith and it’s a privilege to be part of Immanuel’s ministry team.
