Pastor Mike Arbige was a totally depraved sinner. He is now a totally dependent saint, desperately and daily in need of God’s sovereign and saving grace. He is devoted to expository teaching and sound biblical exegesis. He is not a CEO or motivational speaker, but a student of Scripture and preacher of the Gospel. He does not want people to want him, but to faithfully follow Jesus.

Mike married his beautiful wife, Merilee, on November 12, 2011. Together they have a daughter, Magdelaina, born in January 2015, and a son, Matteo, born in August 2016. After God, his family is his greatest joy and highest priority.

Mike loves to read, play games, and watch NFL Football. He is an ardent patriot. He does not use words like “relevant,” “contemporary,” and “life coach.” He knows that 2 + 2 does not equal 5. When his life is through, he longs to hear the words, “Well done good and faithful servant…enter thou into the joy of the Lord” (Matt. 25:23).
