OUR PASTOR
Michael Carpenter was born. . . actually he does not know where he was born except that it was somewhere in Tennessee. Michael was adopted when he was three months old. He was raised in a Christian home, but it does sound trite when it is put that way. Despite attempts to fit in, play sports, and live the American Dream, Michael lacks the ability to be qualified as normal.
Michael is a committed follower of Jesus Christ who thinks too much about all the things he wonders about. His wife and son love him, his mother and father humor him, his friends tolerate him, and strangers avoid him. He does his best work at home, but that really isn’t saying much. He received the finest education money can buy at Williams Baptist College and is currently attending Fuller Theological Seminary. Sometimes he wonders how his life would be different if he had not spent the 1990’s strung out on drugs and had taken over the family business.
Michael loves to people-watch and over analyzes everything. He is fascinated by culture and the ideas that influence it. He spends a lot of time talking to people with being in ministry and such. He doesn’t really have any hobbies or specific skills, but he would like to be more athletic or be able to grow a full beard. Michael Carpenter is not interesting. None of his ideas are original, though he rarely remembers where they come from well enough to cite the source. So, unless you plan on being mean, you can contact him by clicking here.
