Mike and Bev had attended Crossview Christian Church in Waynesville (formerly Ferry Church of Christ) from 1995 to 2010. They served to meet a variety of needs including: children’s Sunday school teachers, marriage enrichment class facilitators, and led the Welcome Ministry (greeters, info desk, and café). Mike served as an elder (2008-2010), before moving to Missouri for employment in 2010. While living in Missouri (2010-2018) they attended First Christian Church in Washington, Missouri. They started DivorceCare and DivorceKids ministries and facilitated the adult classes, led a weekly home group, and became certified facilitators for Dynamic Marriage couples classes, including engaged couples applying this to their pre-marriage training/orientation. Mike and Bev moved from Missouri back to Ohio in September, 2018, and joined the BCC family.
Mike’s APEST gifting leans toward shepherding and teaching. Mike’s special interests are in building up others in small groups, marriage improvement and divorce healing ministries, in one to one encouragement, and also in apologetics related to the truth that all scientific observation completely supports God’s Word.
Mike and Bev enjoy the outdoors - hiking, walking, and biking. Bev got Mike into scuba diving in the late 90’s. Mike also likes golf.
