Church Staff
Senior Pastor
Pastor Jeremy has been on staff at Pine Grove Church since 2017 as youth pastor. He completed his M.Div. from Calvin Theological Seminary in 2019 and in 2022 he was installed as Pine Grove’s senior pastor. He thoroughly enjoys bringing God’s truth through the scriptures to God’s people every Sunday, and is passionate about equipping God’s children to live the life of the beloved. He and his wife, Hannah, have three children, a cat, and a very large bunny. Much of his spare time is spent enjoying the family, but when on his own, he loves making music, reading a good book, and hiking around God’s beautiful creation.
Pine Groovy Kids
Hannah Scripps was called to be Pine Grove’s Children’s Ministry Director in 2020. She considers it a pure joy to share Jesus and the good news of His amazing grace with our kids here at Pine Grove, as well as with those in the surrounding community. She graduated from Covenant College in 2007 with a B.A in Interdisciplinary Studies: Biblical Studies, Sociology and Spanish. Hannah is married to Pastor Jeremy and spends much of her time homeschooling and chasing after their three kids! She also loves great coffee and enjoys painting, writing, singing, planting and finding big trees and mossy patches in the woods.
Secretary
Jen became church secretary in the fall of 2022 but has called Pine Grove home since her early childhood. She enjoys spending time with her parents, sister, brother-in-law and three nephews and taking trips to Traverse City or the U.P. to see her college roommates. When Jen has spare time, she enjoys reading, gardening, crocheting, crafting and Friday family dinners with her parents and aunt.
