Leadership

My wife, Gillian & I have served here over 17 years! It’s been absolutely incredible! Our hearts are to reach the lost & unchurched in this community and raise up a Church that has the ability to reach the culture. So far we’ve seen over 100 salvations & 185 Baptisms!! Our Family of 6 absolutely loves the Upper Peninsula! We’ve raised our family here for over 20 years. Caden, Riann, Kip & Cooper! They keep us busy! Between them & the church we’re more than busy but we wouldn’t want it any other way! Lifers in the Community! 

Wes and Elka have been at HBC since 2002 leading the way in almost every area. They have served on our leadership team, worship team, and sound team. They love being a part of such an evangelistic church.  They have an incredible family and have impacted all of us and this community in ways that are hard to put into words. 

Erica & Brandon and their beautiful little family have been with us well over 7 years! We absolutely love them & love what they bring to our Church Family & Community. They lead worship, they lead Bible Studies, they serve on our Church Leadership Team & Brandon serves on our Preaching Team. He’s already been given a license to be a Minister of the Gospel & is working towards becoming our next Associate Pastor. They’ve built a life here and have raised their little family here as well. Thankful for this family! Such a blessing to HBC!!!

Carolyn has served on our team for over six years and has done a fantastic job for us. Not only does she work as our church treasurer, but she's one of our children's church team leaders. She also serves on our leadership team.  We would be lost without her leadership and willing spirit. 

Gillian has served as our administrative assistant and children's church team leader for over eight years now.  She has done a phenomenal job with executing our church-wide events and creating a positive children's church worship experience week in and week out.  Not to mention, she does a great job at supporting our lead pastor, David Whitaker, and taking such good care of their family. 

Jeremy Shannon is the head of our Safety & Security Team.  He helps lead the way in the area of Church Safety. So important to us that our families can worship without fear. He also keeps our building in top shape week to week.

Dave Robinson is second in command of our Safety & Security Team. He’s been on the team for over 3 years. Helps keep our church safe during our Worship Experiences.
