Staff Changes at Brighton First

The ministry of Brighton First is blessed and sustained by those who serve in our church office. Their welcoming and gracious presence reflects our church’s mission and their administrative skills bless the church’s ministry. We give thanks for our church office staff members and the many volunteers who are part of their team.

Terry Keefe

The Staff-Parish Relations Committee (human resources) of Brighton First announces that beginning November 1, our office staffing will change. Terry Keefe, who has served as Office and Facilities Manager and Finance Secretary since 2006, will become our Director of Communications. Terry is excited to work her “creative side”, developing and maintaining our electronic communications.

Wendy Carmack

Wendy Carmack, who now serves as Office Assistant, will become Office and Facilities Manager and Finance Secretary. Wendy has worked for Brighton First since October 2015. We are so pleased to welcome Wendy to this new leadership role.

We also welcome Karen Wagg to the church staff as Office Assistant. Karen, an active member of Brighton First, adds her gifts to a strong and dedicated office staff.

Please keep these faithful servants in your prayers in this time of transition. And if you have the opportunity, offer a word of thanks for their service.

Brighton First Staff Participates in United Way "Day of Caring"

Brighton Staff Members: Lisa Guise, Alyssa Tumolo, Kali Hnatowich (staff
member for a day!), Mike Tooman, Missy Setty, Stacy Hnatowich, Loretta Job,
Wendy Carmack, Susan Snow, Bob Fuchs, Sherry Parker-Lewis

 The staff of Brighton First volunteered Wednesday, August 16, as a "Day of Caring" Team for Livingston County United Way. Staff members agreed earlier in the summer that they wanted to spend their summer retreat day working together to assist residents in Livingston County. They chose to join Day of Caring.


Livingston County United Way recruits and coordinates over 1,000 volunteers in a one-day effort to assist county residents with home repairs, cleaning, painting, lawn care and bringing good will. The Brighton First Staff  and our church's Men With Tools group were among the teams sent out to help.

The staff worked as a team to complete a painting/cleaning project. They spent the day working side-by-side, solving problems together, laughing together and meeting community members.

One of our church's core values is service, working in mission in the name of Jesus Christ. The staff enjoyed being in mission together.
