Our Leader
Meet Pastor Mike
Hello! I’m Pastor Mike, and since January 2009, I’ve been blessed to serve as both the Lead Pastor and an Elder at Community Church. My journey here began when my family and I felt a strong calling to return to our roots in Akron. It was an unexpected path that quickly led us here, and it felt like coming home—not just to the place, but to a community that shares the deep values and beliefs that resonate with my own.
Each week, I devote a significant portion of my time to studying, teaching, and preaching God’s Word. This involves preparing for Sunday services and leading several Bible studies throughout the week. Leadership doesn’t stop there—I also guide our wonderful team of elders and staff and engage in pastoral ministry and counseling.
