Hi, I'm Mike
I have been a follower of Jesus since 1992 and a church pastor since 2005. Prior to being a church pastor, I was a high school physical education teacher. I'm married to Michelle and have three wonderful young adult children. In my church pastoring work, I have worked in small to large churches and also consulted with churches in a state denominational role. Since 2017, I’ve been the Lead Pastor at Clovercrest Baptist Church in Adelaide, Australia. Over the years I have taught at Bible College; spoken at conferences; authored a youth ministry book to train youth leaders called The Glue; and also completed my Doctor of Ministry, focussing on God’s missional heart that all people would be in relationship with Him.
