Drew serves as Lead Pastor at Faith. He became a Christian through the Fellowship of Christian Athletes in college and has served as an ordained pastor since 2005. He holds a Masters of Divinity from Western Theological Seminary (westernsem.edu) and a PhD in Practical Theology from Fuller Seminary (fuller.edu). 

It is Pastor Drew’s deep desire to create an environment that is both full of truth and full of grace (John 1:14). He knows that we cannot grow without both being present. The truth provides the necessary challenge while the grace provides the necessary safety and support to navigate the challenge. We tend to err on the side of either grace or truth. But what if it’s possible to create environments of both grace and truth

In his free time, Drew loves running while listening to a good podcast, enjoying Northern Michigan with family and friends, and seeking ways to engage others in meaningful conversation.
