Patty Chonich - Choir Director

Kristy Prentiss
Media Assistant
Each Sunday you’ll find Kristy faithfully leading our tech team and making everyone else in the service shine, both for those in attendance as well as those watching the service online on our YouTube Channel (Tawas Presbyterian).
Logan Gould
Grounds/Maintenance
Logan takes a lot of pride in the work he does for the church and it shows both on the inside and also on the outside.
At the core of Presbyterian identity is a secure hope in the grace of God in Jesus Christ, a hope that, by the power of the Holy Spirit, empowers us to live lives of gratitude: “In affirming with the earliest Christians that Jesus is Lord, the Church confesses that he is its hope, and that the Church, as Christ’s body, is bound to his authority and thus free to live in the lively, joyous reality of the grace of God.” (Book of Order F-1.0204)
