So in case you haven't yet heard, the big news is that Mike McKinniss has joined the staff of Calvary Fellowship. This is a HUGE next step for our church! The first year it was just me working a full-time job and running the church. For the following 2 years it was just me full-time, and now we have two full-time staff people!
Mike will be be doing a lot for us, but his responsibilities center around three main areas:
- Leading Worship
- Leading the Home Fellowships (small groups) ministry
- Overseeing the Family Ministries (Children, Youth, College)
We are very excited about Mike and the great impact that he will make upon our church. Here is a bit about him in his own words:
"I grew up in nearby Kensington before attending Messiah College in central Pennsylvania. At Messiah I studied Christian ministries with a concentration in youth. I really enjoyed my time there and will always look back on the people and the place fondly.
After college, I spent two more years working for Messiah in the admissions office, traveling the northeast to meet with prospective students and their families. It was a fun time seeing different parts of the country and getting to know all kinds of people on the edge of an exciting period in their lives.
The tug of ministry called back to me in 2005, when I left for Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Massachusetts. Seminary is a tough experience in many ways, but through it all, God has been preparing me for the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead here at Calvary Fellowship.
In my own time I enjoy sports of all kinds. I love to watch 'em; I love to play 'em. Music is also a big portion of my life. When I get the chance, I like to write and record my own music."
