PASTOR MIKE was born, at an early age, to his parents Pastor Mike Sr. and Judi.
Being a PK (preachers Kid) meant moving around a bit. He grew up in Spokane, Bremerton, Port Orchard and PuyallupWashington as well as St. PetersburgFlorida ? where he first received a call to preach.
After high school he attended Olivet Nazarene University (Kankakee, Il) to study religion before finishing with a major in Economics and Philosophy.
After college he worked for the U.S. Congress before moving on to start various businesses, ranging from a 56,000 square foot health club to a small financial services company. Pastor Mike also spent 5 years working in the independent film and entertainment community before God humbled and humiliated him enough that he was willing to pick up his cross and enter full time ministry.
Before joining Marysville church of the Nazarene, Pastor Mike worked with his dad at Edify Ministries, doing interim ministry and charitable development.
On October 18th, 2008 Pastor Mike will be marrying another pk ? Jennifer Nettles, a woman whose beauty and grace makes him amazed at how lucky and blessed he is.
Lucky and blessed to be marrying such a great woman and to be able toserve God by being the pastor to the most incredible group of teens and young adults!!!
