Team 1 — Ferry Church

Ferry Church Staff

Raully Donahue - Lead Pastor

Hi! I’m Raully Donahue. I moved here in 2022, and I’m still looking for the best beach spots and hikes around White Lake. Because I grew up in the rain-starved Rocky Mountains, I will never get enough of the endless beauty of Lake Michigan. I care deeply about the exploration of the Scriptures and discussion about how God moves through the churches. At a cultural moment when our world is becoming more hostile and divided, I appreciate people and churches taking the time to prioritize their own spiritual growth and listen to the Spirit.
I’m a proud graduate of both The Ohio State University and Notre Dame, which means that football season can be tough for me around here. I love playing board games with friends and trying out new recipes for my family. One of my favorite ways to pass an afternoon is to have a deep conversation with someone over a cup of coffee or a pint, so if you’re interested, please get in touch: pastor@ferrychurch.org.

Beth Wohlford - Pastor of Spiritual Formation

Hi, my name is Beth Wohlford, and I am the Pastor of Spiritual Formation here at Ferry Church!
I have been in West Michigan since August 2020. I graduated with my B.A. in Youth Ministry from Trinity Christian College and my Master of Divinity from Calvin Theological Seminary. Growing up primarily in the Chicago suburbs, I love Michigan's beaches and hiking areas. Being outdoors is one of my favorite things. From the roaming turkeys to the view of the lakes, I've found White Lake to be a beautiful place to explore!
Continually cultivating a close, transformational relationship with God is something I believe to be vital. It is a privilege to have the opportunity to help others grow closer to God here at Ferry Church. I'd love to get to know you more—Whether you are a member at Ferry, or interested in learning more about faith and/or the church. Please feel free to reach out to me to find a time to talk at Bethwohlford@ferrychurch.org.

Kari Donahue - Faith Community Nurse

Hello, my name is Kari Donahue. I am a nurse here at Ferry Memorial Church and I am all about caring for the needs of not only the members of Ferry, but also visitors and members of the White Lake Community. I currently have an LPN license and am finishing my Bachelor in Social Work degree at Concordia University Wisconsin. It has been my pleasure to serve as a nurse in different capacities such as a floor nurse at a med-surg unit of a hospital, long-term end of life care, and a resource nurse at a clinic. I have been blessed to have been born and raised in the Christian Faith. I was born in Ft Wayne, Indiana while my father was attending seminary, then moved throughout the midwest and settled here in Michigan. I moved to the White Lake area in July 2022 and am honored to be part of the wonderful staff at Ferry Memorial Reformed Church. If I am not at work, that probably means I am enjoying a hike around Duck Lake, the beach at Meinert Park or quality time with my friends and family. Please feel free to reach out anytime! Email me at kari@ferrychurch.org
