Diane Brown-Wilhelm
Diane is married and a member of Christian Celebration Center. Her parents were her role models and taught by the way they lived what it means to keep God first in your life and marriage. Diane loves working with her MCFM family and being part of a team that stays focused on the mission… enriching marriage and family relationships. Diane’s favorite pastime is landscape photography, capturing the essence of nature.
Jeff and Pam Koehlinger
Jeff and Pam have been married for 32 years and have lived in Midland, where they are active members of Midland Evangelical Free Church, for 18 years. They have two amazing adult sons, two treasured daughters-in-law, and three beloved grandchildren. The struggles they have had in their own marriage have created in them a passion for healthy marriages as a critical foundation for our families and communities. They love working with MCFM team members from other churches to display the unity of the body of Christ and to encourage thriving marriages and families in the Mid-Michigan area. An attorney retired from Dow, Jeff enjoys sharing in cooking duties (so Pam can retire), running, and caring for his yard. Pam loves nothing more than reading a good book. If she can read a book to her grandchildren, even better!
Gary and Sue Cooper
Gary and Sue live in Saginaw and have been married 48 years. They have raised three wonderful children who brought two exceptional spouses and five lovely grandchildren into their family. They are members of Christian Celebration Center, where a desire to begin a marriage ministry was born in them after seeing the diversity of issues married couples face in and outside of the Christian community. Being a part of Mid-Michigan Community Family Ministries has given them great joy and unity in purpose and has given them the opportunity to develop special friendships. Their lives have been committed to serve Christ and others. Gary and Sue are retired and are very active with their family, especially their 5 sweet grandchildren. Gary likes building and creating, and Sue loves to paint, design, and read.
Chris and Cindy Townley
Chris and Cindy have been married for 33 years. They have lived in Freeland since they were married. They have two loving sons and one beautiful daughter-in-law and are patiently awaiting grandchildren, in the Lord’s time. Chris and Cindy are members of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Midland. They believe marriages are successful and thrive when the foundation is built on Christ. Although they are fairly new members of MCFM they love its mission – serving the community by strengthening marriages and leveraging the abilities of multiple congregations. The MCFM team makes serving a joy. Chris and Cindy love to travel in their spare time as well as spend time with family.
