DAYBREAK ELDER NOMINEES
ROGER KELLEY
Vocation: Structural Engineer at Engineered Structures
Education: Davison High School; Michigan State University (Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering)
Family: Married to Susan for 32 years. Daughter Chelsey (37). Son Kyle (30), married to Sydney; grandson Judah (4). Daughter Anna (27).
We’ve attended Daybreak since 2006.
Hobbies: Fitness, pickleball, having fun.
Where I currently serve at Daybreak: High School small group leader for Daybreak Students (since 2006), Growth Group leader, Men’s study group.
Testimony: I gave my life to Christ as a teenager at Spring Hill Camp, but didn’t fully understand it at the time (I found it written in my Bible later in life). The seed was planted and began to take root. I went to church through high school, but it wasn’t part of my or my family’s lifestyle. I didn’t attend church during college.
After Susan and I got married, we were invited to Eastern Avenue Church and began attending. The seed was sprouting, but a real relationship with Christ still wasn’t there. This continued at Ridgewood CRC when we moved to Hudsonville.
When our kids started complaining about church, we began looking again. Friends invited us to Daybreak, and finally the seed took root—not just in Susan and me, but in our kids as well. My faith grew, and I began building a relationship with Christ through services, small groups, and serving in student ministries and NTS Camp.
I don’t have a specific date, but I fully gave my life to Christ in 2006. Susan and I were baptized together in Lake Michigan in 2008.
DAWN NEWELL
Vocation: Director, Inpatient Rehab Services for Corewell Health
Education: Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (WMU); Executive Master of Business Administration (GVSU)
Family: Married to Kevin for 21 years. Children: Kyle (20) and Addison (14). Dog: Luna (6). We have been attending Daybreak for over 17 years.
Hobbies: Being outside, hiking, reading, playing games with the kids, traveling, watching sports, spending time with family.
Where I currently serve at Daybreak: Elder, Leader of the Usher Team, Prayer Partner, Christmas Village Event Director; Growth Group leader.
Testimony: I grew up in the Christian Reformed Church, attending every Sunday. When I left for college, I believed I didn’t need the church and could follow God on my own. I achieved many goals during that time, but something was always missing.
After Kyle was born, we decided to raise him in church, so we started attending Daybreak. Shortly after, I began serving and joined a small group. A few years later, I was baptized and became a member.
That’s when our family faced significant challenges. We lost our home, our bank account went negative, and our marriage was close to falling apart. During those difficult moments, I realized how much I needed Christ and how much He was waiting for me.
I surrendered everything to God—my marriage, my kids, my job. I could only move forward by trusting and obeying Him. So much good has come from those hard seasons, and I thank God daily for what He has done in my life.
Proverbs 3:5 — “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”
JEFF MOSELER
Vocation: Senior Account Executive, Navigator Truck Insurance Agency
Education: Bachelor’s in Finance (Grand Valley State University)
Family: Married to Teresa; two children. Jeff and Teresa have been attending Daybreak for 30 years.
Hobbies: Being outside, landscaping, water sports, downhill skiing, exploring God’s creation.
Where I currently serve at Daybreak: Elder, Stage Host, Growth Group Leader, opening our home for others to encounter Jesus.
Testimony:
I was invited to Daybreak by a friend, and for the first time, God became real to me. He changed my life forever.
MARCIE HURLBUTT
Vocation: Senior Director, Rehab Services, Corewell Health
Education: Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences; Master of Science in Physical Therapy
Family: Married to Mike. Children: Michael (18), Eric (17), Emma Grace (14).
Hobbies: Spending time with my family on the water, hunting, fishing, baking, playing sports and board games, watching our kids play sports, coaching, weightlifting, listening to audiobooks, organizing.
Where I currently serve at Daybreak: Elder, Growth Group Leader, Lounge Host.
Testimony:
I was raised in a home where I often felt the need to earn approval. I spent years striving to overcome that, but nothing truly changed until a friend invited me to Daybreak. There, I learned that I am a child of God who loves me and is pleased with me (Matthew 3:17). I surrendered my life to God, and He has transformed every part of it. I publicly declared my faith through baptism on February 15, 2015. Today, I live with freedom, peace, and joy because I know God as a Father who listens, guides, protects, forgives, and walks with me through life.
STEVE FRODY
Vocation: Broker/Owner, City2Shore Impressions Group
Education: Hudsonville High School; GRJC Electrical Trades
Family: Married to Shelley for 40 years. Children: Larissa (31), Shonta (30). Dog: Dexter (5).
Hobbies: Boating and being outside.
Where I currently serve at Daybreak: Elder, Growth Group Leader, First Impressions Director.
Testimony: When I was 16, I knew I was missing something in my life and felt empty. Then I found that Jesus was the answer. I accepted Him in my life at a youth camp in Kentucky.
At age 24, I rededicated my life to have a personal relationship with Him and it changed my life drastically.
