Rev. Erica Thomas is our NMU Wesley Campus Ministry Director. Erica is a California native who is thriving as a transplant in the UP as she enjoys the snowy winters and experiencing all four seasons. She holds a Master of Divinity from Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary and is a Full Member Deacon in the Michigan Conference. Erica finds joy in empowering youth and young adults to grow into their potential and follow their dreams.  When she is not hanging out with NMU Wesley students, she can be found out on the trails with her two pups, Wrenegade and Santiago. She is passionate about the outdoors and enjoys sharing her passion through wilderness emergency medicine instruction and volunteering with search and rescue through the Marquette County Sheriff’s department. 

Rev. ChristopherHintz  loves the challenges and joys of multi-site ministry, and the opportunity to coordinate and combine resources for meaningful ministry in current culture. Their family moved to Marquette from Evergreen, Colorado in 2014. They have 5  grown up boys, a dog named Nina, and a puppy named Penny. In addition to ministry, he loves hiking, biking, camping, and all things outside.
