Bill Pollock
Elder & Treasurer
Bill and Carolyn have been attending Celebrate for over 25 years. They joined the church when it was still located in downtown Mount Morris. Both of them are children of missionaries. Carolyn’s father was a doctor who headed a hospital in Egypt and Bill’s father was a missionary builder in Sudan and Ethiopia. They met while attending a mission boarding school in Egypt. They have three daughters and four grandchildren. They very much appreciate the fellowship and vibrant ministry of Celebrate Family Church. Part of the original attraction was the emphasis that Celebrate has on missions. They have led many short-term missions teams to Africa for projects in Mozambique and Kenya. Both of them have been active in a variety of ministries at the church over the years including leading small groups, teaching children and adult classes, and various aspects of construction and maintenance. They feel blessed to be a part of such a welcoming and loving church family.

Heath Clester
Elder
Pam Hull
Secretary to the Elders
Pam and Dan Hull live and farm in Leicester with their four kids: Forest (12), Walter (10), Jane (9) and Oliver (7). They started attending Celebrate in 2009 and Pam has been the corporate secretary since 2014. She also serves as an usher, helps out with grounds-keeping, and recently joined the worship team here at Celebrate.
What makes Celebrate Family Church special to Pam is the presence of the Holy Spirit. She appreciates the atmosphere purposely created to allow the Spirit to move. One of the first things that drew her to the church was the time taken during the service to lay hands on and pray for each other. Pam also enjoys the worship, and as a parent, she is so grateful for the wonderful kid’s ministry.
Pam became a Christian when she was 6 and have attended various churches throughout her life. She grew up in a strong Christian home and attended (and worked at) a Christian camp in the Adirondacks which greatly impacted her faith. Pam had some wonderful mentors and friends that drew her closer to the Lord. Two verses that mean a lot to her are Psalm 73:26 and Luke 12:48. In her spare time, she enjoys being outside- hiking, biking, gardening and playing with her family. She also enjoys reading and baking any chance she gets.
