Pastor Mike and his wife Rebecca both graduated from the University of Michigan with degrees in Actuarial Mathematics.  They got married in 1991, and both were trained for the ministry by serving for over two decades in just about every aspect of a local church in the Chicago NW suburbs. 

They were also part of the regular everyday workforce during their "training period"

in the areas of Actuarial Pension Consulting, Property Casualty Insurance, and

Software & Automated Test Engineering. 

​

Then while Becky detoured her career to focus on homeschooling their four children (a work still very much in progress!), Mike went into the Medical Device industry for the past ~12 years where he managed teams in the areas of Test/Quality and Systems Engineering.  At his last post, he was an Investigator of hospital medical device failures from technical & regulatory perspectives.

​

Mike and Becky are both avid readers, musicians, foodies, jacks-of-all-trades, math/science geeks,

& use EXCEL for EVERYTHING

(even for Bible Studies!)
