Youth Pastor

| Michael and wife Annge began serving in youth ministry in Tennessee in the year 2000. They quickly discovered their passion for young people. "I want to change the way young people see God. I want them to know that a relationship with Jesus is not just for their parents to have, but for them...that God's love is "ageless," He's crazy about them! I want to point them to the Lord so they can see the plans He has for their lives. Our youth are in a battlefield and Annge & I want to come up alongside them and say, "What can we help you through?" states Michael. Both Michael & Annge are currently enrolled in Lee University completing a BA in Christian Education. Michael is an ordained minister through The Light Community Fellowship. The Pape's joined The Light team and relocated from Tennessee in March 2007. They have 3 lovely girls Brooke, Annalane & Sarah. |
