As our members—from children to adults—serve through feeding programs, campus ministry, and nursing home visits, we’ve seen God’s blessings and steady growth. With our borrowed worship space no longer meeting our expanding needs, our longing for a true, dedicated place of worship grows stronger.</h4> To support this vision, we are holding a Benefit Concert. A musical offering to inspire hearts and raise funds for our church building project. Your generosity makes a difference—please note that all donations to our group are tax-deductible for federal tax purposes.

The program, titled “A Legacy of Care and Compassion,” will feature brothers Loren and Lowell Hamel. Born in Michigan, and with deep roots in the Andrews University community, the twins have made a significant impact on their local church and community. Growing up in a strong faith environment, both Loren and Lowell were called to serve their community of Berrien Springs, Michigan, as physicians. In 1976, both graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Andrews University. After attending Loma Linda University in California, they felt called back to Southwest Michigan to build and grow the community they grew up in. Both have worked to meet the health care needs of their community for more than 35 years, as primary care physicians and hospital administrators. For many years, Loren served as president and chief strategy officer and Lowell served as chief operating officer of Corewell Health (formerly Spectrum Health). Both Loren and Lowell have invested in the Andrews University community over the years. In 1990, they practiced medicine together at the University Medical Center on campus. Additionally, Loren Hamel has served as director of Student Health Services, clinical professor of nursing, president of the Alumni Association, chair of the J.N. Andrews Sculpture Committee, and member of the Board of Trustees and several of its subcommittees. The "Legends of Michiana" documentary series highlights people and organizations that have been influential to the growth and development of the Michiana area.
