Ep. 23: TJ Frie

This time, we sat down with TJ Frie to discuss a wide range of topics from his childhood in Michigan and his first job to his years with the US Coast Guard and his decades of involvement with our church. TJ talks about his family and the impact ALUCC has had on his life. We dig into the importance of service and why he loves working with youth ministries, as well as his year serving as church moderator and ways to get involved, even if you’re an introvert—like he is. Now retired, TJ took on the monumental task of following the great Dave Witzigreuter as the guy who takes care of everything related to church maintenance and planning our facilities for the future.  Welcome to ALUCC Fellowship Hall, a podcast where we gather to share a tapestry of stories that weave through the congregation of Avon Lake United Church of Christ. In each episode, we'll journey together through the diverse experiences, fun stories and journeys of church leaders and our fellow members.
