Bill Greiner - Senior Pastor

Bill was born and raised in Springfield, Ohio by Robert and Donna Greiner with two older sisters, Nancy and Polly. He graduated from Kenton Ridge High School and after high school Bill earned a Bachelor's of Arts degree majoring in Biblical Studies from Anderson College in Indiana. With a desire for a more extensive theological training, he moved to Pasadena, California where he completed a Master's of Arts degree in Theology. His ministry experience began as a volunteer leader in Young Life at Anderson High School in Anderson, IN. During his career, Bill has served as a youth pastor for 20 years and the senior pastor of Eagle Ridge for the last 10 years.

Bill is happily married to his wife Robin, and they are approaching their 30th wedding anniversary coming this next year. They live in Midland with their youngest son, Dietrich, who is in 8th grade; while their two older children, Hannah and Josiah, have left home. Hannah works with the National Guard and Josiah is attending Taylor University.

Bill ministers to his community outside the church by coaching JV Tennis at Midland High School and can frequently be found in various fast food joints around town working in the community he loves.

Julie Allen-Wiseman - Pastor

Julie is originally from Dayton, Ohio, and graduated from a Christian college in Illinois. She later moved to Michigan and has been here for most of her adult life. She was ordained in 2000 and is currently the Associate Pastor of Administration and Worship here at Eagle Ridge. Julie shares frequently that her children and grandchildren give her a LOT of joy and sunshine.

Julie's discipleship plan became reality to her the summer our congregation was studying the book of Acts. She was challenged to constantly be on the look-out for who God was bringing up into the church. She loves to give young people in our church the opportunity to develop the gifts that God has given them.

This summer has given her the opportunity to expand her personal ministry beyond the city of Midland. Presently, she is serving on the Midland Regional Human Trafficking Task Force. The Task Force works with many in our city, and on the state level, who are working to assist victims and hold traffickers accountable for these crimes.

Additionally, she has the honor to work with our missionaries to Uganda, Tim and Colleen Stevenson for the TAPP, Tumaini (HOPE) AIDS Prevention Program. This program provides training, home based care, income generating projects, education and social support to Ugandan communities.

Sandy Singler - Office Manager

Sandy was born and raised in Midland, Michigan and she and her husband, Bob, have been married for 43 years. They have four children and sixteen grandchildren ranging in age from 6 to 25. She loves nothing more than to spend as much time as she can with her family, although her next love would be ice-cream (she doesn’t even bother with a dish!). Bob would beg to differ and he would say coffee is Sandy's treat of choice! He tells people he makes the sacrifice - they only see the patient, pleasant side of Sandy because he brings her that first cup of java in the morning!

Sandy worked in the office at Woodcrest Elementary School for 18 ½ years. She loved that position and always thought she would die in her office chair at Woodcrest, but God had another plan. Sandy has attended Eagle Ridge for 25 years, been employed with us for 18 years, and is currently the Office Manager.

Sandy also leads our Front Door Ministry - which is quite appropriate for her outgoing and loving personality. Sandy would say, "My favorite part of the week is to greet you at the door on Sunday morning! I will introduce myself and offer my hand, but I am a hugger so beware once you get to know me!"
