Joe & Evelyn Purdy

Joe and Evelyn bring over 30 years of pastoral experience serving in Traverse City, Livonia, and Detroit. They are grateful for their four children and two grandchildren.

In early 2024, they joined Pastor Thrive as Lodge Managers, fulfilling a calling to care for pastors. Since then, they have served hundreds of pastors and their spouses, offering rest, encouragement, and intentional hospitality through their hands-on ministry at the Lodge.
