Full-Time Senior Pastor at Knox Presbyterian Church (Ann Arbor, MI)

Knox Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Ann Arbor, MI.

God-Driven Origins
From our beginnings as a church plant of two nearby EPC churches in the early 1990’s, the Lord allowed for considerable growth and the capacity to quickly become a particular church in 1995. After years of renting meeting space in a local school, the Lord opened the way for the construction of our 37,000 square foot facility on a campus of 50 acres, which became our permanent home in 2000.

Steady Growth and Financial Freedom
During our first years in our new building, strong attendance at our Sunday services and in our thriving children and youth programs accompanied participation in community groups as places of significant support and spiritual growth. In 2016, a capital campaign was undertaken to retire the mortgage on the building and by God’s grace we were able to do so within a year.

Endurance through Challenges
During the first 25+ years of growth, God granted us significant stability in the pastors, staff, elders and lay leaders who served us. In 2015, our senior pastor of 12 years resigned and it was nearly four years before we recruited and hired a new senior pastor. The following years saw a time of turmoil, as the COVID-19 pandemic and political upheaval took their toll on many churches, including ours. In 2024, our senior pastor and two associates all resigned within three months of each other (January - March 2024).

Humbled Expectation
Yet through it all, God has been faithful to sustain and grow us. We have been under the care of an experienced Transitional Pastor and Associate Pastor, who, with our session members, have been a great source of stability and encouragement. Several efforts are underway to clarify and implement the vision of our church. We trust this season of transition has been a time of pruning and preparation for the new fruit God intends to bear in us, by his grace and for his glory.
