his messages and “Monday’s with Mike” videos relevant to people in all walks of life. Mike received Christ as Savior at the age of 26, and soon decided “If this is worth anything, it is worth everything”. He left his job as a successful car dealer in the mountains of Virginia and enrolled in Bible college. Mike and his wife Stephanie moved to North Carolina in 1998 to pastor a great little church in Osceola, NC, but soon felt the Lord leading them to start a church in Elon, NC.
Through a series of events orchestrated by the Lord, Westside Fellowship came into existence. Mike and Stephanie have been married for 27 years and have three sons. His oldest son, Mitch, is a teacher at Western Alamance High School; his middle son, Mac, is a year-round staff member at Fort Caswell, a Baptist Retreat and Conference Center on Oak Island; and his youngest, Josiah, is a 5th grade at A.O. Elementary School.
