OUR FAMILY

Andrew and Delaney first met at Fellowship Baptist Church in Tallahassee, Florida. Andrew was doing college online and living at his grandparents' farm just over the Florida-Georgia line and Delaney was attending Florida State University. They hit it off immediately, becoming good friends quickly and having hours long conversations discussing their futures, theology, schooling, ministry, and anything else that came to mind. After months of denying their chemistry, the pair finally caved and started to pursue an intentional dating relationship. After about a year and a half of dating, Andrew proposed and they were married 9 months later in August of 2018. In 2019, August was born and joined the family, quickly followed by Finnley in 2020, and completing the family in 2023 is Trace! Andrew and Delaney always knew they were called to full-time ministry and have spent time serving and loving God in Kentucky and Florida before finally reaching their support goal to be full-time missionaries with Life Action Ministries in Southwestern Michigan. After support raising and serving with Life Action Ministries for about 4 years, Andrew and Delaney heard the Lord calling them to serve full-time locally with Relevant Church, a community of like-minded believers with a heartbeat like our family's to see people across the nation passionately following Jesus and living out the Gospel, starting right here in Niles, MI. Since Relevant Church is a church plant, we are still support-based for our family's income and asking for those who are seeking to be apart of God's work to come alongside us in this journey! If you have more questions about the family or their journey, feel free to reach out here!

RELEVANT CHURCH

In 2016, Pastors Muta & Christine - with a team of awesome, dedicated volunteers - launched Relevant Church. A life-giving community of authentic people, who wanted to engage their faith in a real way, developing authentic relationships and experience real life transformation. Relevant Church is on a mission to help people discover that Jesus is Relevant and lead them to passionately follow Jesus, love across boundaries, and make a tangible difference in our community, region, and world.
