Executive Pastor/Small Groups & Children’s Ministry
mmoore@gfconline.com
People always asked a young person, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” It was at a crusade back in the early 80′s when Pastor Mike sensed he would be a pastor when he “grew up”. While working in the medical field for nearly 10 years, he also served in the ministry and received an Associates Degree in Biblical studies. Having now spent over 20 years in ministry, it is still as fresh and exciting for Pastor Mike and by far the things that excite him the most is spending time with his wife, four kids and grandbaby.
