We have a new pastor!

Join us in rejoicing in the calling of the next senior pastor of Grace Bible Church, Pastor Tyson Lemke.  Our congregation approved him at our annual congregational ministry meeting on Sunday, June 13, 2010, and he formally accepted our invitation last week.

Please continue to pray for God's will in all of the details that still must be worked out as we help the Lemkes’ transition to the Ann Arbor area and to Grace Bible Church in the near future. Pray for the timely sale of their home so they can move as soon as possible. Pastor Ty’s first Sunday in our pulpit will be September 12.

 Also, please share a word of thanks to all of our pastoral search committee members for following God's lead through the entire eighteen month search process.

Tyson has spoken at our churh on April 18th and on June 6th.  Click on the links to hear his sermons on those days.

Tyson’s Family in his own words

I have been married for 10 incredible years to my lovely wife: Charity.  We have 3 sons: Caleb- 6 yrs., Nolan- 4 yrs., and Griffin- 1 yr. Our house is full of life and energy as you may imagine.  My wife who is an elementary teacher by profession is staying home with the children and doing a brilliant job with the little men.
