Pastor Mike was born in Crawfordsville, Indiana. He married his beautiful wife Hope, in September of 2010. Mike and Hope have 3 daughters: Ariel, Maycee, and Jayda. They also have a granddaughter, Eden.
While Pastor Mike did not grow up in a Christian home, he and his sister occasionally attended church with their grandmother, Madge, when they were children. This time in his life provided a foundation of Christ in his life from a very young age. At the age of 12, Mike received salvation. He and his sister continued going to church together during these early teenage years. In his late teenage years, he walked away from the Lord, but will attest that God is faithful and continued to pursue him.
In 2008, Pastor Mike attended Crossroads Community Church of the Nazarene in Ladoga with some friends and it was here that he rededicated his life to Christ. In 2012, Pastor Mike was called into the ministry. In the summer of 2013, he began his course of ministry studies through Northwest Nazarene University.
Pastor Mike and his wife Hope love ministering to children and youth. They believe that these young folks, while being a part of today’s Church, are the future Christians that will one day lead God’s church and His people. They have a genuine desire to help the youth of today discover God and to grow into a lasting and loving relationship with Him.
I grew up going to church-but did not understand or recognize my need for Jesus as my savior until I was about 22. It was then that I knew Jesus was who He said He was, beyond any shadow of a doubt. And because of that, I should follow him. So I did!! Jesus-by way of the Holy Spirit- has been working away to transform me to be more like Him since (and what a job he has had!!)
I’m currently the Children’s Pastor at First Naz. My heart’s desire is that kids to know Christ is FOR them, that he LOVES them, and that He wants a relationship WITH them-RIGHT NOW! I love kids. And love equipping parents to be the main disciplers of their kids!
I also work with a special education cooperative in Terre Haute, Indiana-where I also get to serve kids and families! I’m also in the course of study with Nazarene Bible College!
In my free time I like bird watching, reading, trying new things, cooking, and spending time with all my favorite people! I have one dog, Chip and two cats: Mike and Bitty
