David is the Director of Operations at New Anthem. His goal is to use his management experience to help keep everything at New Anthem running smoothly. David is married to Christine, is the father of Cecilia, Katherine, and Evelyn, is the father-in-law of John and Daniel, and is the grandfather of Ilana. David is a huge film buff, loves to watch soccer and college football, and has been accused by his family of occasionally speaking to them exclusively in film quotes.
Christine is the Family Ministries Director at New Anthem. She became a committed follower of Jesus Christ at the age of 30 so she has a personal understanding of people who are guarded and skeptical. Christine is wife to David, mom to Ceci, Katherine and Evelyn, mother-in-law to Pastor John and Pastor Daniel and “Mimi” to granddaughter, Ilana *so far. Christine likes: listening to podcasts on theology, creating artwork, cooking healthy, and walking. Christine doesn’t like: doing dishes, washing floors, cleaning bathrooms, or writing biographies in the third person. Come find her in the Anthem Kids hallway. She’s a people person and wants to meet you!
Ceci is the Creative Director at New Anthem. She’s passionate about glorifying God through creativity, helping people find their gifts and get plugged in to serve, and seeing people learn to love God with their minds. She loves her husband John, her dog Vera, baking elaborate desserts, theology podcasts, and Hot Cinnamon Spice lattes.
Pastor John absolutely loves his wife and the local church. After over 13 years of following a passion to reach people for Jesus, God led John and his wife Ceci back to Metro Detroit with the vision to start New Anthem Church.
