Lyne Stull-Lipps - Pastor
For almost 20 years I shared my love of music with families through Childhood Music Associates where I taught Suzuki Piano. During that same time I had the opportunity to work with my husband, David, in music ministry and raise our daughter Emma. Now as a second career pastor I have the opportunity to proclaim God sighting and share the love and grace God has shown to me with all who come into my circle. It is a privilege to be part of God's mission in the world and particularly here in Potterville.

Karen Scott - Secretary
I presently reside on the family farm, north of Charlotte and my elderly parents live with me. We became a Michigan Centennial farm in December of 2009, something that my mother is extremely proud of as it was her ancestors who settled here from Pennsylvania over 100 years ago. I currently cash rent the farm, but keep 10 acres out for hay for my four horses, (life’s passion). I have one son, Garrett, his wife Rory, and two grandchildren, Greeley Jo, 2 ½ , and Tristan, born May 4, 2011.
I am a member of the Gresham United Methodist Church, but will be visiting you here periodically to meet you all and better serve you. It is a true blessing to be here and I have fallen in love with your church, all that you do for your community, each other, and how you serve the Lord.
I am a retiree of Delta Dental of Michigan and spent the last ten years of my career there as a Human Resources Benefit and System Analyst.
Thanks to all of you who have made me feel so welcome!
God bless you!
