Our Passion for Christ
The character and effectiveness of any church is directly related to the quality of its leadership. That’s why Scripture stresses the importance of godly overseers and delineates specific standards for evaluating those who would serve in that position. At New Ground, we are committed to the pattern established in the New Testament, and we thank the Lord for the qualified, able people who provide pastoral and administrative oversight to our church family.
Jesus promised to build his church (Matthew 16:18) and established Himself as its foundation (1 Corinthians 3:11). In Ephesians 4:8–11, the apostle Paul writes that church leaders are God’s agents in building the church as they equip the saints for the work of the ministry.
Our church has been blessed with godly elders who shepherd us willingly, eagerly, and humbly.

My name is Bill Creutzberg and I am blessed to be the pastor of New Ground. I earned a Bachelor degree of science and biblical studies from Moody Bible Institute.

I love the outdoors and spending time with my family.
Jack Fischer
Worship Leader
My family and I found refuge at New Ground several years ago, quickly becoming involved in serving and community in children’s ministry, worship team, and many other areas of New Ground. I have a passion for music ministry. A passion that continues to grow deeper every day. Teaching, guiding and helping people interact with and through the Holy Spirit, worshipping our great God not only by music and singing, but through submitting and surrendering ourselves daily in His presence, listening, surrendering all our cares, priorities, plans, hopes, dreams and even our fears. There is always something to praise Him for!

Amy Mosman
Children’s Director
I have served in some form of Children’s Ministry for as long as I can remember. When I was little, my favorite thing was to hang out in the Nursery holding babies. My husband Paul and I moved to Clarkston in 2013. We have 4 kids who we homeschooled and 2 nephews who graduated through CHS. I enjoy spending time with my family in any capacity and going to coffee with friends. Through leading at New Ground, I strive to know God and make Him known by meeting people where they are and helping them to see that God created them and loves them unconditionally. My great hope is that people will know that God loves them no matter what.
