Home Pastor Ken and Bev Harger

Getting to know us:

Bev and I first met at Green Corners Baptist church where she attended and I started attending as young people. We started dating when she was 15 and I was 19, we were married in 1957 at Green Corners Baptist church and lived in Belding at 1442W State St.

We received a call to be the Pastor at Shiloh Community Church in June of 1958 we commuted from Belding the first 5 years then we purchased a cottage at Long Lake and lived there about 10 years. Then Hall home became available to buy and we moved in about 1972. Through the years we purchased the lot next to us and then a lot on the Lake and we built the Lighthouse in 2001.

We as a family were blessed with our first born son Kendall, our second born was a daughter Dawn; Jesus took back to be with him after two and one half hours of life. Our third born was our daughter Angie, our forth born was a daughter Karlene; she went to be with Jesus in 2000 at the age of 35 leaving behind a husband, one son and three daughter; The baby of our family, our fifth born, was a daughter Valerie. Our children have given us 17 Grandchildren 12 boys and 5 girls and they so far have given us 8 Great Grand Children 6 girls and 2 boys. We are very proud and grateful to God for our family.

Bev and I had the privilege to serve our Lord Jesus Christ as a team ministering as pastor to Shiloh Community Church, and to Ionia and Montcalm counties for 50 years. We retired in 2008 as lead pastor; we still attend most of the services; and do whatever we can to help the ministry at Shiloh.

Our life verses are Proverbs 3:5–6 ’Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path.
