Rev. Tonya Arnesen
​Senior Pastor

   Born Tonya Morris, to a Methodist preacher and his wife, Tonya moved 12 times before she went off to college, but Nashville, TN was home – and she’s got the “ya’ll” to prove it.  She married David Arnesen in October, 1978 and they moved to Michigan, where they raised their 2 children.  Their daughter Sarah and her husband Patrick Klein have gifted them with two PERFECT grandchildren – Jack and Ella.
