Mike has served as a Pastor at Geneva since 2003, called to teach and live out God’s Word, and to help others to do the same.

Mike started coming to Geneva as a UW student. As he remembers it, the time he spent here and the people he spent time with powerfully shaped his spiritual life and his vocational choice.  Mike eventually left Geneva to go to seminary.

Since graduating from Calvin Theological Seminary, Mike has served as a campus minister at the University of South Dakota, been a ship-visiting chaplain in the port of Montreal, and pastored a congregation in Waterloo, Ontario.  In 2003, Mike returned to Geneva Campus Church as its pastor.

Mike’s family is an important part of his life and ministry.  He and Beth (DeVries) met at Geneva, and got married here in 1983.  Beth teaches English as a Second Language. They have three children: Lucy, Zoe and Clio.

Mike pursues a life-long passion for learning (he regularly takes courses at UW in a variety of disciplines).  When time permits, Mike also enjoys reading, drawing, painting, photography, biking, kayaking and canoeing.

CJ and her husband Adam moved to Madison in 2011. They have two daughters: Piper and Elodie. After completing degrees in math and physics, CJ worked in the tech industry for several years then discovered her passions lay more in teaching and working with children. Her family began attending Geneva in 2020, and the worship and community through Zoom became a lifeline during the pandemic. They love the intergenerational community at Geneva, and CJ is excited to get to support Geneva’s children’s ministry and help foster relationships amongst the children and between children and adults. In CJ’s free time, she loves reading books, running, hiking, playing piano & cello, and soccer (playing & watching).

Micah has been attending Geneva since he visited in 2010 during his first week of graduate school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The carefully planned, Christ-centered liturgy caught his attention, and during the past four years, his love for both God and the local church have increased through fellowship with Genevans. He recently graduated from UW with a Doctorate in Viola Performance, but his position at Geneva is giving him space to explore a broader range of musical gifts within the context of Christian community. He is grateful for this faith family where he can be challenged, encouraged, and can hopefully inspire people to love Jesus more.

Alicia started attending Geneva as an undergraduate, and though she’s left Madison a few times since for jobs and graduate school, she and her family are happily planted in Madison once again. Alicia and her husband Nate have three young children and enjoy all that Madison has to offer, including ultimate frisbee, bicycling, and community events anywhere from their kids’ local elementary school to the university. Alicia also works part-time as an outpatient dietitian on campus. Somewhere along the way, the desire for organization settled deep in Alicia's soul and, honing her administrative skills, she is happily putting them to work alongside the rest of Geneva's staff.
