Mike and his wife Myra have 2 children and 4 grandchildren. Mike will begin his ministry at New Salem Sunday, March 2nd. There will be a meet-greet reception after the morning service the following Sunday March 9th. Mike will be serving in the interim pastor role until such time as a senior pastor is called.

One of our goals as a pastor search committee is to keep the church congregation fully informed of our progress. We are currently in the process of interviewing candidates for the position of interim pastor. As we do this, it has been a tremendous blessing to speak with men who have dedicated their lives to the service of God's work. It is also gratifying to know that these men are willing to help our church as we go through a transition phase. We, as a committee, promise to do the best that we can, but as the same time lean wholly on the Lord, not on our own understanding.
