Pastor Michael

Senior Pastor

Let me tell you about my husband, Pastor Michael. Well, he grew up in Oklahoma. As a boy he loved riding his dirt bike, hanging out with his older brother and most of all watching the Dallas Cowboys (to this day, Cowboys games are a big event in our home). At the ripe age of 17, a friend invited him to Rhema Bible Church. It was here, in the fall of 1989, that he gave his heart and life to God.

After sensing a strong calling from the Lord, Pastor Michael attended Rhema Bible Training Center and graduated in 1994. He also had the privilege of working for Kenneth Hagin Ministries for six years, from 1992-98. It was an important time and a special time for him because of the deep spiritual growth he gained. Listening to him talk, I know that no one has had more of a spiritual impact on Pastor Michael's life than Dr. Kenneth E. Hagin and Pastor Kenneth Hagin Jr. He considers them to be his spiritual fathers.

Well, I should mention that it was during this time, 1995 to be exact, that he met me. I began my first year at RBTC and got a part time job at the ministry in the same department that Pastor Michael was working in. After 2 years of working together we had our very first date, and the rest is history. We were married in 1999 and today we have 2 wonderful children, Mariah and Michael.

It was after a few years of marriage that we had the amazing opportunity to be a part of the pastoral staff at Believers' Christian Fellowship in Warren, OH with Pastors Joe and Gina Cameneti. We can't say enough of their care and guidance, and to this day we don't know what we would do without them. During this time, we felt a stirring to senior pastor. So, with the blessing of Pastors Joe and Gina, we began our journey to what is now Life Family Church. We pioneered Life Family Church in the summer of 2005 in a basement.

I can tell you that Pastor Michael is passionate about the people of Life Family Church. He is consumed with seeing people come into relationship with Jesus. He is consumed with seeing people walk in the fullness of God. And he is consumed with seeing people fulfill their God given calling. It is this passion that Life Family Church has been founded on.

To try and sum things up, I think my husband is an amazing man. He loves God with all of his heart, he is one I look to for wisdom, he is a wonderful father and there is nothing that drives him more than the work that God has called him to. And I know that as you sit in the congregation and hear his heart, you too will be touched and changed by the life of God that is in him.
