Our Pastors
Jeremy Baldwin spent a significant portion of his life in Northeast Michigan, where he developed a deep appreciation of the region and a love for its people. He is a post graduate of Oscoda High School, and furthered his education at both Northwood University and Alpena Community College.
Jeremy and his wife Nanci Brown got married in Oscoda, Michigan in 1999. Their ministerial journey began in 2010 when Jeremy served an internship at The Pentecostals of Alexandria in Alexandria, Louisiana. In 2011, they moved to Kansas City, Missouri to serve as Student Pastors at The Life Church. They received the burden to plant churches during their time there and were called back home to Northeast Michigan.In 2016, they received training from the United Pentecostal Church through a program called Launch. This program equipped them with the necessary tools and fanned the flame that burned within them to plant churches.
In late 2017, the Pentecostals of Alpena welcomed The Baldwin’s as their new pastors, who came with a vision to establish daughter works and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, fulfilling His great commission.
Jeremy and Nanci, along with their three children, Monroe, Selah and Xavier, are passionate about serving the Lord, which also means serving one another. This family strives to Study the Word of God and make disciples one soul at a time. They are a family answering the call.
