Our Staff

Pastor Michelle Wilkey has been an ordained minister with the United Church of Christ (UCC) since July of 2014. Her first call was at David's United Church of Christ in Kettering, OH, where she served for over eight years as the Associate Pastor. In 2016, Pastor Michelle was accepted into the program Next Generation Leadership Initiative (NGLI), which is a leadership program offered by the UCC Pension Board.  She considers herself a lifelong learner, and this leadership program is a wonderful way for her to continue to grow in her leadership skills. She is also very grateful for all the things she learned during her time at David's, and she feels honored to have been able to serve the church alongside Rev. Dr. Brian Q. Newcomb. 

 

Pastor Michelle was excited to accept the call to become Harmony Creek Church's next Lead Pastor.  She began her time at this wonderful church in January of 2023.

 

When she isn't busy pastoring, Pastor Michelle and her spouse, Jae, love to travel and spend time with their two dogs, Lemmy and Clark Kent.  They also love spending time with their friends, whom they consider to be their chosen family.

 

Pastor Michelle prides herself on not being your typical pastor. Once you get to know her, you will soon discover that is the truth.
