Mike and his wife Jenny have been involved in the PCA since it’s inception back in 1973. They met in high school and attended the same church. After graduating from N. C. State, Mike and Jenny married and moved to Charlotte, NC. They were founding members of Christ Covenant Church in Matthews, NC where Mike served as first a deacon and then an elder. A job transfer took them and their three children to Massachusetts for 4 1/2 years. While there, they helped plant Springfield Presbyterian Church. Moving to Lynchburg in 2003, as a result of another job transfer, Mike and Jenny were pleased to find a group of folks trying to plant another PCA church.
