Staff		Crystal Lawns Church

 

		Rev. Mike Quimby, Interim Pastor Pastor Mike currently lives in Bradley, Illinois. Their home is located adjacent to the football field of Olivet Nazarene University where they say we can all come watch the Bears in training camp. Before retiring from full-time ministry, he pastored in Colorado, at Canon City & Colorado Springs; Spring Hill, Florida; in Illinois, at Hoopeston & Chicago Heights; Omaha, Nebraska; and Akron, Ohio. He has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration from Tarkio College in Missouri; an associate degree in Biblical Studies from Nazarene Bible College; and a Master of Ministry degree in Church Management from Olivet Nazarene University. His wife, Becky, is also a minister and has spoken at retreats, conferences, and seminars in the Nazarene and Wesleyan denominations. Becky has served as minister of music and associate pastor in each of the churches they have served. Also helping us with the music here at Crystal Lawns will be their son David who is a student at Olivet Nazarene University studying criminal justice. They have three married daughters:  Heather (Robert) Day, and baby Emma, Momence, Illinois; Stephanie (Ben) Kumor, and little Caleb, Columbus, Ohio; Deanna (Andy) Mize, and 5yr. old Katie, Bourbonnais, Illinois They began their ministry with us on June 3, 2007. The presence of the Spirit has been so evident in each service and many are finding help at our altars. Becky is a dynamic musician and has really enhanced our music and worship. Pastor Mike is a master preacher and his preaching style can be described with words like entertaining, enriching, educational, and edifying. We are expecting a great time of worship, praise, growth, and learning during their ministry with us.
