Raully Donahue, senior pastor Email Pastor Raully
Hi! I’m Raully Donahue, the new pastor at Ferry. I moved here just this past summer and I’m still looking for the best beach spots and hikes around White Lake. 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 more divided, I appreciate people and churches that are taking the time to prioritize their own spiritual growth and to listen to the Spirit. Before I came to ministry, I earned a Ph.D. in religious history and I still love exploring the diversity of churches and religious traditions of the world even while being rooted in the Reformed branches of the universal Church.
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. Because I grew up in the rain-starved Rocky Mountains, I will never get enough of the endless beauty of Lake Michigan. I love playing board games with friends and trying new recipes out on 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 in learning more about me or about Ferry Church, please get in touch: pastor@ferrychurch.org.

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 in 2020 and my Master of Divinity from Calvin Theological Seminary in May of 2023. Growing up primarily in the Chicago suburbs, I love the beaches and hiking areas here in Michigan. Being outdoors is one of my favorite things. From the roaming turkeys, to the view of the lake, 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.
