OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM
Matthew & Nicole Homan are the Lead Pastors of the Potter's House Family Worship Center. They have served together in ministry for over twenty years and count it a privilege to be a part of what God is doing here in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. When they married in 2004, Matthew and Nicole felt the Lord call them to give Him their "Yes" and to live for His glory wherever He planted their feet. Now, as the parents of fourteen children and the lead pastors of our local church - their prayer is the same - "God, be glorified."
Matthew & Nicole enjoy spending time with their children hiking, adventuring to new places, and relaxing on the beautiful beaches of Michigan's Great Lakes. They love time spent with their church family, a good bonfire, and a perfectly cooked s'more.
