After being raised in a wonderful Christian home in Beaverdam, Michigan and obtaining a degree in Accounting from Grand Valley State University, I sensed the Lord calling me into pastoral ministry. That call led me to Westminster Seminary California, from which I graduated in 2008. In 2009, I was ordained as a Minister of Word and Sacrament in Coopersville CRC, where I served for 6 years. I began serving as pastor at Bethel in 2016. My wife Julie and I have been married since 2008, and the Lord has blessed us with 4 children. I love serving the Lord as a pastor, ministering the gospel of Jesus Christ and shepherding His flock. And I love serving the Lord at Bethel because of the people here, people who create a welcoming community of genuine care and people who display an eagerness to demonstrate their faith through loving service and heartfelt worship.
Open office hours on Tuesday and Wednesday from 1:00 – 5:00 pm. It’s always a good idea to call first. You can find his office at church in the north end of the fellowship hall.
