Our Staff
Rev. Darrel Harvey, Senior Pastor
Darrel is the founding pastor of Flushing Community. After more than a decade of youth ministry, he and his wife Anne, and their children Tyler, Zack and Ally moved to Flushing in 1997. With nothing more than God’s call and promise they began to share their vision for a new church. A core group was formed and began meeting in a home to pray and prepare to launch this new community of faith. In the spring of 1999, the doors of Flushing Community Church of the Nazarene were open to the public. Anne teaches science at Flushing Jr. High. Both Darrel & Anne are graduates of Olivet Nazarene University.
Rev. David Mills, Youth Pastor
Dave is entering his sixth year of student ministry at Flushing Community Church, and this fall will be starting up our new Sports and Rec ministry. Dave was born and raised in the great state of Kentucky, and is a huge Wildcat fan! Dave and his wife Jodi are both graduates of Olivet Nazarene University, and have 2 beautiful children, Karly and Davis.
Rev. Steve Close, Community Outreach Pastor
Steve was raised in Davison, Michigan, graduating from Davison High School. He received his B.S. in Christian Education from Olivet Nazarene University. He is a 20-year youth ministry veteran, now serving as our Pastor of Community Outreach. Steve leads our worship band, along with Dave Mills.
As Community Outreach Pastor, Steve coordinates the ministries of Flushing Community Church with needs and events in the community. Steve also works closely with our Mercy Team, as well as school & civic organizations.
Steve is the staff “gearhead”, enjoying anything with a motor and loud muffler. He’s been married to Julie since 1985 and is a dad to two lovely teenage daughters.
