Meet our staff
Pastor Nan Leffel
Administrative Pastor
(810) 444-4616
Hi, I’m Nan, and I’ve been part of New Beginnings since its inception in October 2019.
As Administrative Pastor at New Beginnings, I perform a myriad of admin and management functions — from being responsible for the communication to our members, along with social media to the community as well and managing finances, paperwork, and reports.
I enjoy teaching on Wednesday evenings as well as pastoral care and discipleship to others. I also lead prayer on Saturday evenings, when we pray for the services and ministries within our church and the community at large.
Most importantly, I am a child of the King! For that, I am eternally grateful. By God’s grace, I raised the four children with which He gifted me. I am so thankful for my children, their spouses, and my seven grandchildren!
In my free time, I enjoy using my artistic gifts in creating greeting cards with stamps and different coloring mediums.
I am grateful for the opportunity to use my gifts and talents for God’s glory and the building up of His church at New Beginnings!

Hi, I’m Duke! I have been a Charter Member at New Beginnings since its founding in 2019. I currently serve as Lay Pastor and lead our Teens and Young Adults group. I also lead our “Called to Serve” Table Tennis Ministry.
I am married with three kids and five grandkids. Some of my hobbies include playing tennis, table tennis, and smoking & BBQing meat. I also love taking extra care of my lawn & garden.
It is truly my passion to spread the light of Christ in the Mount Morris area!
Pastor Bob Phillips
Sunday School Teacher
(810) 223-2695
Hello, my name is Bob Phillips. I currently serve as our Adult Sunday School teacher. I also help out with the sound, and from time to time, I will fill the pulpit.
I'm a graduate of Grace Bible Institute and Seminary and have a Bachelor's in Religious Education and Theology. I've been married for 31 years and have two boys, 27 and 22.
My hope is that whether I'm teaching a Sunday School class or preaching a sermon, I am able to help you feel the need for a closer relationship with our Lord and Savior.
I hope to see you in church real soon! May God richly bless you and your family.
