Pastor Michael began his ministry at Real Life in October 2011, coming to us from Bradley (IL) First Church of the Nazarene where he served as the Minister of Music while attending Olivet Nazarene University. He is currently in the process of completing a Master of Arts degree in Pastoral Ministry from that institution, where he previously earned a Bachelor’s degree in Children’s Ministry. He will finish his degree in May 2012.

He desires nothing more than to interact with the people around him and share the love of Christ through daily life. This is also his desire for Real Life Community Church, that we would share Christ with those around us by sincerely pursuing Him in every aspect of our lives.

The verse which drives his life is Galatians 2:20 – “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” (NIV, 1984)
