Pastor Kuehmichel is moving from Palo Cedro SDA Church to pastor the Eau Claire District. His ministry passion is in giving personal Bible studies and community outreach.ob

Pastor Kuehmichel earned his Doctor of Ministry degree from Ashland University in 2010. Prior to that he earned a MDiv degree from Andrews University, a BSBA degree from the University of Phoenix, and an A.S. degree in electronics from North Central Technical Institute in Wausau, Wisconsin.

“Merrill, Wisconsin, is where I was born and raised, and where I lived for the first 32 years of my life,” said Kevin. “I have many fond memories of Wisconsin and I have always been a fan of the Packers and the Badgers. My two brothers still live in Wisconsin. They are not Adventists, nor was my family of origin. One reason I want to come back is that I know the people, the geography and the culture of the Northwoods. I feel I will be comfortable with the people and surroundings here.”

Pastor Kuehmichel and his wife, Patricia (Trish) have two adult married children, a daughter, Karli, and a son, Kyle, and a new baby granddaughter, Lawren.

In his free time, Pastor Kuehmichel enjoys woodworking/house remodeling, fishing, hunting, target shooting, and reading military history. His wife, Trish, enjoys sewing and cooking.
