OUR STAFF

Rev. Dr. Randall Engle

Pastor

The one I’m preaching on that week!

Mowing lawns:  I mow my lawn, and three of my neighbors!  I love it!  Text me: I’ll be over to mow your lawn, too!

North Hills is a unique, authentic community that’s in a class all by itself.  I love the people, the love, the mission, communion services, the worship.  And I love answering questions about the wheat sculpture! 🙂

Associate Music and Social Media Director

Philippians 2:9–11

When I am not at North Hills, I am probably spending quality time with my wife or my friends, thinking about the next choir anthem or social media series, or writing about Stoic philosophy.

“North Hills” is synonymous with community. A church isn’t a building, it is a people, and North Hills is always people-first.

Mary Baker

Organist

David and I love to travel, especially to be involved with grandchildren in Kalamazoo, Vermont, and Brooklyn, NY.  We also relish being part of Dearborn, walking our neighborhood and exploring the culture and diversity of SE-MI.

I like to shop at thrift stores to help supply CAP (Community Assistance Program), a ministry close to our hearts for many decades.

Reading is an ongoing hobby, recent recommendations include Solito and Demon Copperhead.

North Hills continues to be a fulfilling place to serve as the organist since being “recruited” almost 20 years ago.  Helping plan and lead worship with this congregation who loves to sing is a true gift and a highlight of my week.

Cheryl Yuhas

Accountant

I take Genesis 1 & 2 to heart).  I read a fascinating book that connected the Creation to work and made me see that everything we do is in service to God.  I may not be able to preach and lead a church, but my career is no less a calling. 

When I’m not at North Hills, I’m the Parish Accountant at National Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica in Royal Oak.  I love being with my family.  Playing card games, running errands, camping.  It doesn’t matter, as long as we’re together.  When I have free time, I love to read.  I prefer nonfiction to fiction.  My favorite topic is Medieval England, but I’ll read about anything.  I’m also John’s chauffeur and can probably get to Pontiac Yacht Club in my sleep!

The people!  It’s a true family of faith that I’m proud to be part of.

Child Care Center Director

Proverbs 31:25-26 

When I am not at North Hills I can be found at home reading, working on projects, traveling or trying out new restaurants with my husband Andrew. I enjoy spending time with my daughters Layla (20) and Taegan (16) and snuggling my Staffy Luna.

North Hills is special because from the moment you walk in you can feel that this is a place of love, joy and nurturing.
