Shepherding Team
These men are submitted to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and recognize Him as the Great Shepherd and the Senior Pastor of our church family.
They seek to follow the teachings of the Word of God and the leading of the Holy Spirit as they serve as shepherds of this flock according to the pattern of the New Testament church.
In the spirit of Mark 10:42-45, we understand that Jesus said the purpose of leadership in the church family is not to flaunt authority over people, but to love and serve others just as He did.
In the spirit of Acts 20:28 and Ephesians 4:11-12, we understand that the responsibilities of the shepherds are to lead & feed the flock of God, to train & equip the Lord’s people to do the work of ministry and to protect & correct those in the church family who need special care.

Mike Engle
Mike came to the Lord at age 19 in 1979 through the faithfulness of an unknown (we shall meet him one day and he’ll finally get to thank him) believer who sent a gospel tract through the mail that sovereignly landed in his young hands. Most of his early Christian life was spent at College Hill Presbyterian Church. As an active member of their college and career age group, he grew and matured in the Lord daily and made many lifelong friends. Mike’s better 3/4 is his wife Becky and they live on Foster Maineville Road. During his years at College Hill Presbyterian, he was honored to occasionally teach numerous times which ignited a flame in him that he didn’t know was even ignitable. He has been honored to be able to share the gospel in China and Southeast Asia several times with people who have never even heard the very name of Jesus, let alone the gospel story. He and his wife Becky also serve on the board of a ministry that brings the gospel to Muslims in the Middle East from the dusty streets in Egypt, to tribal clans in Yemen. In addition to that he serves as trustee to two other ministries, one of which translates Bible studies into 10+ different languages reaching well over 1 million people per year. Despite what the Lord alone can, and has done with such a broken and earthen vessel, his biggest passion isn’t so much being looked at as a teacher, but as somebody who just loves to talk about the One who bought him.
