Leadership Team

I avoided God's call into ministry for over ten years, until I realized I could no longer run from God and left the corporate construction career I held to step into ministry. My ministry path started in 2011 as a business and missions pastor until becoming the senior pastor at a small church in northern Michigan in 2015. In 2017, I listened to God's call again and took the lead pastor position at a small church plant in Zeeland, which today is now Family Church.

In some ways, I am the last person someone may expect to go into pastoral ministry, but that is how God works - He uses unlikely people to do great things for his glory. God saved me, forgave me, and I encountered a love like no other. Because of that, I wanted to serve him. He placed an undeniable calling in my heart to serve within the local church, and I followed. So, in 2003, I began two significant journeys - I got married and started pastoral ministry. Since then, I've had the privilege of serving in churches of various sizes, multiple denominations, and in different roles. Eventually, God prompted me to be a lead pastor and revitalize a church, which confirmed a passion in my heart to see churches become healthy and thriving. Today, I have the honor of being a campus pastor at Family Church, where I get to lead a church to health and life!
