Our family has been attending Wellspring since the Fall of 2014. I was blessed to grow up in a Christian family in Holland, MI. My faith grew while in High School, but it was in college where I felt the need to surrender to my own desires and commit to following God’s path. I am saved by His grace and not of my own doing and I can recognize how God has pursued me in my brokenness and continues to mold me even to this day. I feel privileged to serve at Wellspring and to help where I can, to be the hands and feet of Christ in our church community.
I’ve worked at Yanfeng Automotive for 30.5 years in several different accounting roles most recently as a lead in our Product Costing team.
I am grateful for the friendships and acquaintances I have found at Wellspring and look forward to worshiping and growing in the years ahead.

DALE RADCLIFF
Married to Jennifer Radcliff
Children: Andrew (21), Amalie (20), Kayleigh (17), Karissa (15).
I work full time as an engineer at Gentex Corporation.
I grew up in a Christian family attending church pretty much from the day I was born. As a result of this influence in my life, I was exposed to God and what Jesus did on the cross at a very young age. I accepted Christ at the age of four and chose to be baptized shortly after that. While I have certainly experienced ups and downs, I have seen God’s hand working and orchestrating many events in my life to bring me to where I am today.
Our family moved to Michigan 15 years ago and we have attended Wellspring for nearly twelve years. Jennifer and I have a love for missions and have taken several short term trips individually, both internationally and domestically, and one together. This has led me to serve on the Missions Team, and to be a friendship family for international students at GVSU.
It has been exciting for us to watch and experience what our God has chosen to do in and through Wellspring over the last twelve years. I am looking forward to the opportunity to not only serve you as a deacon but to grow in my walk with Christ through this time and to see where He will lead Wellspring over the next several years.
