Elders

Michael has been married since 2004 to Alicia Rowntree, whom he met in Scotland on a study abroad trip. They have four kids: Anna, Hudson, William, and Molly. He loves to think deeply, read widely, and laugh heartily. His hobbies include playing golf and sharpening his Spanish with native speakers.

Michael has been in ministry for over twenty years, serving Wellspring Church for seventeen years (ten as the Lead Pastor), and Bridgeway for two years, before planting Convergence Church—a “church of house churches.” Michael is also a co-host on The Remnant Radio, which educates and equips believers in God's Word & Spirit, exploring Christian theology, church history, and the gifts of the Spirit in a manner that is engaging and relatable.

No matter where he has served, God has consistently used him as a teacher, a pastor, and a leader. As a teacher, he loves to study God’s Word and bring it to life in a way that displays God’s beauty and desire for friendship. As a pastor, his heart beats for the sheep—to nurture them faithfully and compassionately. As a leader, Michael focuses much of his time on raising up and equipping leaders.

I have been married to Jamie since 2009, and we have 6 children.  I have helped lead small house church groups for about a decade and love to see the church grow and flourish. I’m passionate about seeing people grow in their walk with Jesus and laboring alongside others. I also enjoy camping, spending time with family and being a part of our kid’s activities.

Sinner saved by grace. He’s not dead, yet.
