Lake Pointe Bible Church Staff

Senior Pastor, Dean Johnson

My parents were both from a little town in the thumb of Michigan named Port Hope. In the late 1950’s, after they were married, they moved to California. Everyone was moving to California, the land of opportunity! My brother and I were born there. We were what I’d call “nominal Lutherans.” If you asked us what church we were a part of, we would have said the Lutheran Church, but we only went on Easter and Christmas Eve.

Pastor of Student Ministries, Joshua Haynes

Joshua and his wife, Beth, and two boys, Andrew and Caleb, came to Lake Pointe Bible Church in June 2011. Beth, the daughter of Graham and Mary Martin, grew up at Lake Pointe and spent her summers at Upper Peninsula Bible Camp where her father served as camp director. She graduated from Plymouth High School in 2001. Joshua grew up in north Alabama. He and Beth met at Wheaton College from which they both graduated in 2005.
 
Joshua and Beth married the summer after graduating. They spent the next six years in Alabama where Beth taught art and Spanish in both public and private school settings before becoming a mother. Joshua worked as a carpenter until 2007 when they started a small organic farm selling vegetables and meats they raised to local customers. Before coming to Lake Pointe in 2011, Joshua also worked as a school administrator and administrative assistant at their church. Joshua is responsible for all students from grades 6 through 12.

Ministry Assistant, Gloria Kline

 

Growing up as the second of eight children, Gloria was born and raised in Ypsilanti, Michigan and attended Lake Pointe from childhood. She pursued a degree in Art Education at Madonna University, where she also served as a student manager for the women’s basketball team, a writing tutor, and an art archival intern. Instead of entering the field of teaching after graduation, she joined the Lake Pointe staff in the spring of 2022.

A year later, Gloria began pursuing a Master’s degree in Biblical Counseling at Faith Bible Seminary in Lafayette, Indiana, in order to better serve the discipling relationships that were developing through her ministry role at Lake Pointe. In 2024, she married her husband, Daniel, and together they now serve in LPBC’s Young Adult ministry.

As Lake Pointe’s Ministry Assistant, Gloria oversees church office administration and communication while also providing behind-the-scenes support to Lake Pointe ministries and individuals as needed. You can contact her at lpbc.ma@gmail.com.
