Pastor Dennis lost his first wife of 33 years to a nineteen year battle with cancer. In early 2016 God brought Dennis and Debbie together in friendship, which quickly grew into a deep spiritual connection and love. They were married later that year in a ceremony here at Elbridge CC, attended by all of their children and many friends.

Dennis and Debbie have 6 children between them, which has now grown to 10, and 6 grandsons. They reside in Elbridge Township where they enjoy time spent together reading, praying and discussing the Word. No matter what they do – cooking, canning, gardening, and especially walks in the woods – you will find them enjoying life together. They love gathering together with all their children and “grands”!

Dennis recently passed a milestone mark at ECC, having served as Pastor for 10 years on October 1, 2017. When Dennis isn’t at the church office, you might find him working on the farm, riding the tractor, or tinkering with his bulldozer. Debbie enjoys connecting with people, updating the church website, and managing the social media.

A favorite verse is, “He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” -Micah 6:8
