The "Unfinished" Crew
Meet the Community Team!
Rev. Don Van Antwerpen
Pastor
From Kobe, Japan, Pastor Don is a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary and an ordained Minister of Word and Sacrament in the Reformed Church in America.
​
Pastor Don is an avid hiker, musician, dedicated Star Trek fan, father to three adorably exhausting children, and doting husband (not necessarily in that order!)
​
It is theorized that he sleeps once in a while, but this has yet to be proven empirically, and remains a matter of great conjecture and debate within the scientific community.
Courtney Fraley
Consistory Vice President
Hailing from Manistee, Michigan, Courtney Fraley is the main US-Side Administrator for our community operations
​
Courtney is a skilled jeweler, talented artist, a loving wife, and a dedicated mother to her daughter, an perpetual engine of cuteness!
Rev. Akiko Van Antwerpen
Pastor (Volunteer)
Born in Japan, Rev. Akiko Van Antwerpen is a graduate of Hope College and Princeton Theological Seminary, and specializes in Pastoral Care and Counseling ministries.
Fluently bilingual in both Japanese and English, Pastor Akiko has a passion for helping people struggling with depression, communication issues, cultural adjustments, and life transitions.
Steve Augustin
U.S. - Side Administrative Director
Currently hailing from that tiny hamlet of Boston, Massachusetts, Steve is a talented chemist and graduate of Hope College and Eastern Michigan University.
​
Steve is also an incredibly talented musician, classically trained at piano, clarinet, and pretty much everything else you might use to make music with. We're lucky to have him helping to manage our operations in the U.S.!
Travis Love
Director of Communications and Various Online Things
Currently of Tokyo, Japan, Travis Love is a graduate of Hope College, and currently works in the technology field doing things most of us can't begin to understand.
​
Travis is responsible for managing our Disord server, and is also an occasional co-host on our video and podcast productions, as well as a caring husband and awesome father to his young daughter and newborn son!
Tim Gross
Justice and Advocacy Director
Tim Gross is, first and foremost, a nerd. From Dungeons and Dragons to the latest installation of the Dragon Age video game series, he’ll geek out with whatever. But when it comes down to it, he’s a lover of people and wants to help them realize the depths of how amazing they truly are. If he can be encouraging in any way, he’ll jump at the chance. His mission in life is “Love God, Love People.
[REDACTED]
Education and Events Director
In the interests of personal security, we are refraining from posting information about our Education Director online. But we do actually have one, and they're AMAZING. Come hop on the church Discord server and meet them there!
Mallory Gross
Chair, Board of Deacons
Mal is a mama of 3 human babies and 2 fur babies. She loves to paint, read and go on adventures with her husband. She is determined to make the world around her a more kind, compassionate and empathetic place.
