Born on a ship in the harbor of Tsingtao, China, Alison has never had a conventional life or career. After graduating cum laude from Oberlin College (OH) in 1970, she worked in several college administrative offices and taught Art. She graduated with a M.Div. with Honors from Andover Newton Theological School (Boston) in 1993 and was ordained on October 10th of that year. Alison is the mother of two adopted sons, two stepsons and a stepdaughter and a foster son. She also has nine grandchildren. She and her husband, Denis, currently reside in the parsonage in Onekama.

Dan Wilson is a native of Atlanta, Georgia and holds the bachelor’s and master’s degree in music education from Georgia State University as well as the specialist’s degree in educational leadership from the University of Southern Mississippi. He is a retired educator (Georgia and Frankfort, Michigan). During his more than thirty-eight years of service, he literally worked with all ages: teaching music to kindergarten children through college undergraduates, as well as supervising both classroom teachers and fine arts teachers during his years as an administrator. Dan feels particularly blessed that during his entire life, Sunday always has meant go to church and worship God. He has continuously sung in church choirs since age 4 and has often “filled in” directing church choirs, as needed. Dan and his wife Kathy (who is an outstanding musician in her own right and our choir accompanist) have two daughters and five grandchildren and reside in Onekama, Michigan.
Our Constitution and Bylaws provide for a very nimble governing body which meets once a month to transact the business of the church. We have six Ministry Teams: Pastoral Care; Worship; Music; Property Maintenance; Community Outreach; and Christian Education.
