DEACON CANDIDATES

We thank Travis Cook for his time of service as he rotates off of the Wellspring Deacon Roster.


ERIC DIEPENHORST

Married to Sharon Diepenhorst
Children: Seth (29), Maddie (27), Jack (25), Trey (21), Tessa (21), Jada (18)

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.


JAMIE PRINS

Married to Mindi Prins
Children: Jovie (10), Esther (8) and Max (7)

Our family has been attending Wellspring since 2021, and we feel so blessed to have found such an amazing Christ-centered community almost literally in our backyard. We value Wellspring’s unwavering commitment to Biblical teaching, meaningful worship, and the intentional focus on community and service. I grew up in Jenison and attended Unity Christian High School and then Trinity Christian College. I was blessed with a strong foundation of faith through my family, church, and school. Over the years, God has continued to shape my heart, teaching me what it means to live with purpose and humility as I seek to honor Him daily. I currently work as a Director of Finance at The Windquest Group in Grand Rapids. Outside of work I enjoy playing hockey, working outside and spending time with my family. I am excited and grateful for the opportunity to serve at Wellspring. I trust that God will continue to work in and through this church as we follow Him together.


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.
