Our Pastor

Pastor Sam Ronicker joined us in October 2026. He comes to us following twenty years of service in the United States Air Force. Throughout those years, he developed a deep appreciation for service, leadership, and helping others—and those same qualities are an important part of what he brings to ministry. Teaching is also a special passion for Sam. He has served as an adjunct professor and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Language and Religion as well as a Master of Divinity in Christian Apologetics. With his particular areas of interest being Theology and Apologetics, his focus is on helping us grow deeper in our understanding of God’s Word and our faith.

But there’s more to Sam than his education and career! He and his wife, Michelle, have two sons. They enjoy spending time together in the Upper Peninsula, camping, and fishing. Sam also enjoys chess and photography.

We welcome you to visit Pastor Sam and take some time to introduce yourself, share a cup of coffee, ask about his Air Force experiences, or perhaps talk with him about theology, fishing, photography, or one of his many other interests!
