Pastor Debbie Lennis, Commissioned Pastor

On September 22, 2020, Pastor Debbie was Commissioned to White Lake Presbyterian, after serving as Office Administrator for over 25 years. A hemorrhagic stroke suffered while leading worship in June of 2017 was the catalyst for heading down a new path in life! Becoming a Lay Pastor had been a dream, and God’s saving grace helped Pastor Debbie take the steps to make that happen. Beginning her career and serving through a pandemic been an interesting journey but one that Pastor Debbie has taken on with great joy! When she’s not in her office at the church, Debbie enjoys playing with her grandkids, walking the “church dog”, Deacon, and camping and kayaking with her husband of 45+ years, Ray. Be sure to stop by and say hello if you are in the area!


Office Administrator, Corrie Tinker

Corrie is the first person you’ll see when you come visit us. She runs the office and takes care of the financial responsibilities too. She also loves to teach Sunday School! Corrie loves to spend time with her husband Matt, and kids, Gabe and Harlow and is dog mom to Biff and Marty. They love to camp and do all sorts of outside things, like foraging and raising chickens! She’s a new Girl Scout mom and spends lots of time doing fun things with Harlow. She loves to chat, so be sure to stop by and say hi when you are here!

Paul Schreiber, Choir Director

Paul has been directing our choir for over 25 years. As a life-long member, Paul and his family have invested years, generations, into White Lake Presbyterian Church. After getting his degree from EMU, he spent a couple years teaching and directing in the UP, before ending up at Milford High School where he taught and directed for 30 years before retiring in 2012. You can still find him playing smooth notes on the saxophone or guest conducting at area high schools. When he's not doing something musical, you might find him cruising somewhere warm with his wife Marian.
