I married my best friend, Julie, in 2013, and yes, she is way cooler than me. My taste in music varies from broadway musicals to covers of popular songs on piano. My hobbies cover a wide range, from playing guitar to reading, writing, playing video games, watching tv, going on walks with our two crazy dogs, drawing, painting, and the list goes on. But I’d be happy just grabbing a cup of Chai and sitting down to have a chat about what matters most: Jesus.

Andy Acker

Phone: 517.669.5133 aacker@northpointecc.org

I was raised in the southwest corner of Michigan in a town called St. Joseph. I graduated from Spring Arbor University with a degree in Youth Ministry. While studying at Spring Arbor, I met my best friend, Bekah Carter, and married her this past December after about 3 years of dating. Some of my favorite activities are spending time outside (especially hiking, kayaking, and camping), playing guitar, and spending time with my friends and family.
