Hi, my name is Jeremy Lueders and I would just like to share with you a little of what God has done in me and my family’s life to bring us here to north west Michigan!

First off, my wife Katlyn and I have moved here from Frederick, Maryland where we began our family; we have five kids ages 2-13. We lived in Maryland doing ministry together at Calvary Chapel Frederick where I served as an assistant pastor for 13 years. About five years ago we visited this area to see family, but the Lord also used that trip to begin stirring our hearts to move here, and to pray about serving in this area. The next two years were full of prayer and seeking council from my pastor as well as the elders at our church. During that time all the answers from the Lord were yes, starting with the blessing and support of our Pastor and our whole church family back in Maryland.

Calvary Chapel Up North has been going for about 3 years now, and the Lord has been so faithful. Our hope is to share the Love of Christ with the lost that we meet and to encourage and build up the body of Christ here in the Benzie county area through the teaching of God’s Word, worship and fellowship.
