Pastor Mike Mckenzie
Lead Pastor
I am Pastor Mike. I have been married to my wife (Erin) for almost 22 years. I have 4 children: Bryant (20), Lexie (18), Landon (13), and Lilly (5). I have a strong desire to see the community transformed by the church. The way that this happens is with a balance of relationship. First, we have a relationship with God. Then, we have healthy relationships with other people. This balance gives us the joy of life. Without one, we are left searching for happiness in many different places.
I love to see people experience Jesus and to allow themselves to be transformed by the grace of God. I look forward to leading the church into the future that allows people to experience this grace in their own context. The future is bright when we surrender to God's perfect will.
In my spare time, I coach soccer, spend time with my family, substitute teach at our local High School, read, play guitar, and whatever else I can get into. I love learning new things.

Erin McKenzie
Children's Director
My name is Erin McKenzie, and I have a heart for teaching children about Jesus. I'm married to my husband, Mike, and we have four children: Bryant, Lexie, Landon, and Lilly. Planting seeds at a young age is critical to allowing them to blossom following Jesus later. I am a local high school registered nurse with a bachelor's in nursing. I attend MVNU and will graduate in November with my MBA/HCA. Caring for people is what I have been called to do! Children are the future and the most important focus. In my spare time, I spend time watching Hallmark movies! I enjoy spending time with my kids, watching their sports, and singing.
Lexie
Children's Intern/PreK
