Sam Bruzan
Director of Music and Worship
[email protected]
Sam always has a song running through his head. Blessed with the gift of dad-jokes, Sam is almost always good for a gut buster or a groan giver. As a husband to Jessie (his smart and ever patient better half) , father of two children (Desmond and Marlow) four-and-under, and dog father (Mackinac), he is always on the lookout for teachable moments, life lessons, and the opportunity to turn any song into a parody hit.
Jessie Bruzan
Director of Children's Ministries
[email protected]
Jessie is a deeply devoted individual whose strong faith shines through in all aspects of her life, especially in her exciting new role as the Children's Ministry Director at Georgetown. Alongside her ministry, she is a loving wife to her husband, Sam, who serves as the Music Director here at the church. As a mother of three, she brings a natural warmth, patience, and understanding to her leadership and interactions with young people, creating a nurturing and engaging environment for them to learn and grow in their faith. She is passionate about developing impactful programs and fostering a love for Jesus in the hearts of children within our community. Outside of her ministry and family life, Jessie enjoys the quiet pleasures of reading and crocheting. She also cherishes spending quality time with her family, often exploring the beauty of nature through hiking.

Elizabeth, her husband Dan, and children Chase and Faith have attended Georgetown since the fall of 2020. She's in the praise team, potluck committee, friendship group, and Feeding America, and sometimes can be found leading worship or yoga here!

Amy Koetsier
Director of Community Relationships
[email protected]
Amy Koetsier is all about connections. In the past, her work as a handywoman was about repair, renovation, and restoring things when they were broken. Now, she brings that skillset to people and relationships and helps Georgetown deepen and expand our connections with the wider community and world. Get to know Amy and you will find someone with a soft heart for the hurting and ready hands to help.
Sherri Kleyn
Financial Assistant
[email protected]
Sherri Kleyn is our numbers wiz and the one who maintains a lot of important things that are unseen. Sherri is a solid, trustworthy staff member and friend that is remarkably warm for someone who works with so many numbers. And there are a lot of numbers! Sherri and her husband Rich are almost never home; they are always out adventuring on a long e-bike ride, kayaking, or visiting their youngest daughter [they have 2] in the UP!
Lindsay Lieberman
Community Relationships Manager
[email protected]
Lindsay, a lifelong member of Georgetown CRC, brings with her a strong sense of social justice and a genuine passion for helping others, which shines through in everything she does. As a devoted wife, mother of two, and dedicated homeschool mom, she skillfully balances compassion, organization, and creativity each day. With 3 pets at home, she has a great love for animals. She dreams of traveling and hopes to build meaningful connections with people and cultures along the way.
Sara Duggins
Administrative Assistant
[email protected]
Sara Duggins is our staff member who is the first friendly face you will see – or hear – when you engage our church office. Sara possesses an uncommon warmth and sensitivity and a can-do attitude. Sara loves the arts: graphic arts, music, and literature – her favorite being the Harry Potter novels. In her spare time, she enjoys hand-sewing a quilt that is years in the making.
