Gwen has a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education, majoring in Language Arts, and completed her Master's degree in Special Education, with a specialty in Autism Spectrum Disorders, in the fall of 2015.

Julius was encouraged on his path to pastorship by many people in his life, and they will show up occasionally in his sermons. He felt a strong attachment to the Springville family from the first day he visited, and that continues today. Gwen has felt their love as well. Their hearts desire is to bring people closer to God by sharing the stories of the blessings that He has graced them with, and bringing Biblical readings into 21st Century life in and around Onsted, Michigan, and the world.
