Olivet New Beginnings Leadership
Team of devoted Pastors and Leaders dedicated to reaching the community for Christ.
Pastor Bradley Fudge
Pastor Cheryl Pickford
Originally from Jackson, Michigan, Cheryl met her husband, Steve, in her freshman year of college. They were married four years later after her graduation from Western Michigan University. The couple has two children who reside in Michigan, and three granddaughters whose sports involvement keep Cheryl and Steve on their toes as they travel to as many games as possible to cheer them on.
Pastor Steven Coleman
We are Steve and Tina Coleman, and we are the Youth and Young Adult Pastors at Olivet New Beginnings. In July 2013, I rededicated my life to Christ while Tina experienced her first conversion. Since that time, we have passionately pursued God and feel called to “Bridge the Gap” between the young and the old, and the sinner to God. Part of that bridge is to develop a program for youth called Driven Ministries, and having weekly Encounter services. We believe if all youth are driven to have an encounter with God, they can reach their full potential in Christ and lead productive and thriving lives while flourishing in their families and communities.
But it does not end there. What happens when they transition to college and/or the work force. Tina and I believe there is a need to fill this “gap” in their life when they can easily get caught up in all the transition and confusion of life. This is easily rectified if they have a purpose and understand that even though life is hectic right now, God is still God and He loves them and wants what is best for them.
Since 2013 our ministry exploits have taken us from church cleaner to church planter and covered every position in between except for Senior Pastor. Tina has her master’s in Christian studies and I have a bachelor’s in Christian studies. Through 24 years of marriage, we have 3 children, 2 grandchildren, and 3 dogs.
