Meet Our Pastor
Pam and I moved to Alpena in 2012 when I was appointed pastor of Alpena Free Methodist Church. I grew up near a place that was near a place that was near St Louis, MO, but we have lived in Michigan for most of this current century. Pam was born and raised in Michigan (downstate unfortunately) but vacationed in the Alpena area as a little girl. We enjoy the water here – whether we are walking by it or canoeing on it. We love it here in Alpena.
We have 5 sons, and at last count 4 grandkids. Ask me about them – I dare you, I double dog dare you – no really ask, I’ll probably tell you even if you don’t, so...
I play a lot of musical instruments … kind of … I think if I stuck to one I could maybe be really good … but I play a lot of them. You may have heard Bob, Colin, and myself playing on the downtown street corners in good weather.
