About Us

Genesis Church is a place to experience life change. Forgiveness, restoration, grace, and hope are all words people use to describe Genesis. Salvation decisions are common. Baptisms are frequent. Every Sunday is a celebration.

We believe Jesus changes lives, salvation is only found in Him, the Word of God is living and active, and that the church is the hope of the world.

You will be challenged to grow and encouraged to serve. Whether you are searching, newly saved, or a veteran Christian, you will constantly be pushed out of your comfort zone for the purpose of making a difference for the Kingdom of God.

Genesis Church began in 2009 at Pomana Park with 29 people. In that short period of time, we’ve seen dozens of people give their lives to Jesus Christ, hundreds take the step of baptism, and countless lives changed. Pastor Jamey Newsted leads Genesis Church with a strong vision and passion to see those far from God filled with life in Christ.

It’s an explosive, phenomenal movement of God – something you have to see to believe. As we focus on doing whatever it takes to help people FIND and FOLLOW Jesus, you will experience powerful worship and a God-inspired message from the Bible. As someone recently told us, “I’m never sure what to expect when I come, I just know it’s going to be good and straight from the Bible.”

Hi, I’m Matt and I am the Worship Director at Genesis Community Church! First and foremost, I believe that worship is far more than just singing and playing instruments on Sunday. I whole heartedly believe that worship is a lifestyle that you should embody through your actions and words every day of the week, for our God is worthy of nothing less. I also believe that music is a language and holds a special place in teaching the love of God to all who listen.

In my spare time, you will find me spending time with my lovely wife and my amazing daughter. I also love the Detroit Red Wings and pretty much anything hockey. Oh and Summer, I LOVE summer and warm weather.

I'm Kyle, and I'm the Pastor of Discipleship and Missions. My main job is to help people find and follow Jesus … and to help those followers reach out and lead others to find and follow Jesus. I love seeing people take their next steps in their journey with Jesus – whether it's joining a small group, leading a small group, joining a ministry team… or growing to become more like Jesus in their lives, their marriages and their families.

In my free time, I love spending time with my wife (Charissa) and our 3 kids. I also really enjoy watching sports, especially the Chicago Cubs and U of M football.

My name is Hannah Abel, and I serve as the GenKids Director here at Genesis Church. I am a sophomore at Cornerstone University, where I study Elementary Education with an emphasis of Preschool through 6th grade. I have a passion for kids and leading them closer to Jesus! I want to help kids get started on their journey with the Lord in whatever way I can.

In my spare time, you will see me hanging out with my friends and family, reading a good book, or kayaking out on the water. If you have any questions, or just want to chat, feel free to reach out!
