Pastor Terry Euper will be our Interim Pastor from January 1, 2012, through June 30, 2012.  He brings a real passion for the Bible and a wealth of experience to our church family.

Pastor Terry is a graduate of the Asbury Theological Seminary.  Pastor Terry is a member of the Detroit Conference and has served several churches throughout Michigan.  His last appointment was as the Clergy Assistant to our last two Bishops.  He has served on the Detroit Conference Board for Global Ministries and was the Spiritual Director and Assistant Director for several Emmaus Walks.  He also served a church in Coventry, England, as part of the pastor exchange program.

Pastor Terry's interests run from camping and backpacking to traveling the world.  He has been involved in the Detroit Conference Camping Program as the Dean of Bay Shore Junior High Camp for over 30 years.  He has also backpacked extensively with youth groups from various churches.  Their trails included the Bruce  Trail, Pictured Rocks, North and South Manitou Islands, Porcupine Mountains and Isle Royale.  He has section-hiked 530 miles of the Appalachian Trail.  Pastor Terry and his wife Jackie's worldwide travel experiences read like the index to a National Geographic magazine.

Pastor Terry and Jackie have a son, a daughter and six grandchildren.
