Cori ConranCori Conran is the pastor of Coopersville UMC. She is married to Patrick, and has three kids: a son- Ryan (& his wife Jessica), and two daughters- Jessie and Eileen. She also became a grandma in 2021, and loves it!
Pastor Cori grew up an Army brat, living a large portion of her childhood in Germany. She is a Michigan transplant but has realized that Great-Lakes water flows through her veins. She is a self-professed nerd with some might say way too many books. She has interests in dead languages (Latin, Greek, Hebrew), world religions, and history. As a family, they love playing D&D, crafting, binging Youtube, and the American South West! Not having been raised in the Christian faith, Pastor Cori is passionate about communicating faith to people in very relatable and relevant ways. She seeks to equip and impassion followers of Christ to truly live out their call to be the hands and feet of Christ in the world today. She loves Jesus and wants others to as well! |
