My name is Kristin Bredeweg. I have been married to Rick for almost 29 years and we call Jenison our home. We have two children, Noah who is 24 and a home owner, and Sophia, who is 21 and will become Alec Headley's wife on April 29, 2022. We have three dogs (I know, I'm crazy!), Woodson (Golden Retriever) and Kevin (Golden Doodle), who I adore and help keeps my sanity intact and then there's Jax (Golden Doodle puppy) that reverses my sanity! I best describe myself this way ... I'm a bus driving, haircutting, piano playing wife and mom who simply put loves Jesus, getting my worship on and encouraging others to do the same! I love "junking" (Goodwill, thrift stores and garage sales), being out in our boat on any part of Lake Michigan, CLOTHES and SHOES, and a good book. I truly believe that as Worship Coordinator it is my roll to prepare the hearts and minds of God's people to be open and excited to hear the word of God spoken to them! Hearing the voices of "all in" Jesus loving people is something I actually get giddy about and can't wait to come to church to hear and I am humbled and blessed to do that very thing with the people here at Ottawa Reformed Church!
