Leadership

Mike Lumpkin

Lead Pastor

Pastor Mike has served in ministry for nearly 30 years, ministering in churches in Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, and now here in Pennsylvania. A native Texan, Mike has degrees from Baylor University (BBA), Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (MDiv), and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (DMin).
Mike has a passion to preach and teach the whole counsel of God's Word (Old and New Testaments) and to see its application transform the life of the church.

Mike is married to Jan and they have five children, two dogs, and two cats (not Mike's idea). He's a runner, reader, movie-watcher, and music aficionado. Oh, and though he is a Dallas area sports fan, he actually grew up loving the Red Sox and Celtics (though we don't hold this against him...mostly).
