Welcome New NMD Pastors 

Jim & Cathy Canfield – Buckley 

​Jim and Cathy come to us from the Eastern Michigan District where he was associate pastor at Argentine Church of the Nazarene in Linden, MI.  Their first Sunday at Buckley Faith Community was February 10th.  You will be blessed to get to know this warm hearted couple.  Please pray for them and the congregation as they begin this new venture together.  
 
Thank you to Rev. Dave Martin (Mary) for his ministry as pulpit supply during the transition time.  
Jim & Barbara Heckathorne – Interim, Pickford

​The Heckathornes come to us from Winterhaven, Florida.  Jim is a TIPS (Transitional Interim Pastoral Services) minister with New Church Specialties. He will be leading the Pickford New Horizons Church in the months ahead in preparation for a new lead pastor.  Their first Sunday will be March 31st.  Please pray for the Heckathornes and the Pickford Church during this transition time.

​Thank you to Rev. Dale Freed (Marilyn) for his faithful ministry as pulpit supply since the first of the year. He has been leading the church in a strong prayer emphasis as they seek God’s direction.
 Tim & Katie Fall – Interim, Clare

Rev. Fall has served at the Clare Church as administrative pastor since 2003. He will be assuming the role as interim pastor on March 3rd as the congregation moves through this transition time. Please keep Pastor Fall and the Clare church in prayer in the days ahead.
Joe & Molly Lee – Associate, Reed City

​The Lees began their ministry at Reed City in the fall of 2018 coming from Chicago Central District.  Joe and Molly are both graduates of Olivet Nazarene University.  We are excited to have this wonderful couple on the Northern Michigan District. Please keep the Lees in your prayers as they serve the Reed City congregation.

Weidman has a new website!

The website will still be undergoing changes in the near future as it's not done yet. Heather Strom built it and Pastor Matt is learning to update and maintain it himself. It's totally free--there was absolutely no cost to the Weidman church at all. Hopefully soon they will be able to upgrade to a paid plan but until then, this works. 

If you would like a website for your church, please contact Pastor Dan Gilmore for more information, or contact Heather directly through her website here.
