Clergy & Staff

 

The Rev. Molly Bosscher

Molly was called to St. Andrew's in June of 2019 after serving churches in Florida and Virginia. She has always loved church, at least partly because of the Kool-Aid, graham crackers, and cookies offered in Sunday School but stayed because the love of God continued to compel her, calling her into strange and beautiful adventures. Molly loves being outside, reading, dancing, and spending time with her friends and family, especially her two emerging adult sons.

The Rev. Alex Quick

Alex was born and raised in the Ann Arbor area and completed his undergraduate work at Hope College and graduate work at the University of Toronto and the Montreal School of Theology. He has spent the past eight years ministering as a hospital chaplain in different health systems in the state. He finds life in photography, paddle boarding, and spending time reading in coffee shops with his wife Casey. Alex serves as our clergy associate.

Eileen Hoogterp

Eileen is our organist and choir director. She is married to Richard (Dick) Hoogterp and they live in Muskegon. They have an adult son, John. Eileen has served parishes in Muskegon, Jenison, Ravenna, Conklin and Wright and is happy to be here at St. Andrew’s, which adds Grand Rapids to the list! Eileen is a long-standing member of the Muskegon and Grand Rapids Chapter of the American Guild of Organists and the Grand Rapids Chapter of National Pastoral Musicians and is currently semi-retired. She welcomes your ideas and comments. May we all Sing to the Lord a New Song!
