Pastor Michael and his wife Melissa have been at North Pointe since 2005. Michael is passionate about helping everyone he comes in contact with to experience the love and grace of Jesus Christ, just as he did as a teenager. His goal is to make the Bible come alive for people today and to inspire a growing community of devoted followers of Jesus in Edmonton and across Canada. He envisions North Pointe as a place where people can "come as they are" and gradually become more like Jesus each day. Pastor Michael and Melissa have two children, Aubri and Zane, along with a chubby cat named Raffy!
