Rev. Mike Denning - Associate Pastor & Minister of Music
Mike became our Associate Pastor/Minister of Music on October 10, 1999. One of Mike's main ministries is Family Care. If anyone is in the hospital or homebound Mike Denning is going to visit, write letters, or make phone calls to check up on them.
Mike surrendered to the call as an adult stepping down as the owner of a profitable business to go to Florida Baptist Theological College. His family is very important to him. He has three adult daughters (Amanda, Rachel & Michelle) and three wonderful son-in-laws. He has six beautiful granddaughters.
