Pastor Todd Evans

I was raised as a P.K. (pastor's kid) throughout my entire life. As I grew I experienced many of the difficulties and struggles that come along with being raised in the "fishbowl." But God was faithful to the prayers of my parents and He brought me into His family in 1987 at a winter youth retreat with our church. While I still had struggles, God worked in me and through many others to bring me continually closer to Him.

In 1993 I graduated high school and started my education at Taylor University in Indiana. This was a great time of learning about myself and growing in my relationship with Christ. I also started to understand the gifts and talents that I had been given so that I could fulfill the vision that God gave me to impact people's lives for Him. After graduating from Taylor in 1997 I spent 3 years in Indianapolis, Indiana teaching middle school in a private Christian school. As that door closed in 2000 I was offered a job teaching high school and middle school history back in Michigan near my family. Little did I know that God was using this in many different ways to bless myself and others around me.

In 2003 I married my wonderful wife, Amber and we started our journey together through life while God also started working on my next phase in life, attending seminary to move into ministry. Along this way we also had our two wonderful daughters. God led me to the perfect school during the time and I graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University in August 2007.

In October 2007 God called us to FCC after much prayer and talking. He has been faithful in guiding us in our journey and has given us an exciting time so far, allowing us to become a part of the church family and seeing all of us grow together. We've been able to do a lot of different things, especially for myself to start working toward a lifelong goal- striving to earn a black belt in the martial arts. I enjoy training in Cha Yun-do, which has also become something we are starting to teach in the church. During this time we also had our third daughter, which has brought its own struggles due to her health issues. God has been wonderful in givng us a great church family and community that has stood behind us and with us through it all. As we move forward serving our church and community, we are all very excited about what is in store for the future!
