We have recently welcomed the Rev. Annamarie Groenenboom, as she joins our clergy staff,
including Pastor Amber, Pastor Chrissy, and Pastor Seth. We will coordinate clergy
availability and responsibilities together, and are blessed to share gifts of each clergy person.
The content below will be helpful to clarify how each person serves, and each one’s availability.
Pastors share in visitation, worship leadership, Session meetings, and special arrangements.
Office staff can be reached by email, or phone during church business hours: Monday—
Thursday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Our new phone system enables calls to be forwarded to and
messages received on individual cell phones—simply call the church number: 269.344.0119.
Email addresses are below and in the back of the bulletin every week. Our goal is always to
be as available as possible within expectations of employment, connecting with our parishioners
and neighbors in a timely manner.
