Heather Baker Utley, Communications Director

Family and Friends

Page Photo Currently, my parents live in Ohio, where they manage Baker's IGA--our small, independent chain of 4 family-owned grocery stores. They spend their weekends camping in their Sunnybrook Camper and reading and playing guitar. Amazingly enough, they are both still avidly pursuing higher education after nearly 30 years of being business partners! Mom is in her 2nd year of an MDiv at Seminary, and Dad is writing and arranging worship songs for Grace UMC's Praise Band. I'm so proud of them!

My brother Sean (age 22) lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he is a Senior at Calvin College, studying Business and Chinese. He's recently engaged to Rachael, whom I'm excited to call sister-in-law!

All four of my grandparents are alive and well in Ohio, where they split their time between warm Ohio summers and warm Florida winters.

My best friends all do radically important things all over the globe. Seriously. If you need a place to stay in pretty much any country of the world, I can hook you up.

So...I am one blessed woman, who happens to know hundreds of amazing people...all of him support me and encourage me in the ministry every day! Yeah for them!
