Faith forged through fire and faithfulness

A native of Huntington, West Virginia, Pastor Mike brings Appalachian grit, lifelong ministry experience, and the hope of a man who has found Christ faithful in every valley.

As a cancer survivor and survivor of two open-heart surgeries, he knows faith is more than a Sunday idea. It is the anchor that holds when life presses hard.

“The pulpit is not a stage. It is a sacred place from which the Word of God must be proclaimed faithfully, courageously, and compassionately.”
