Hey, guys! I am Pastor Mike, and I am so blessed to be married to my beautiful wife Patti since 1997. Together we have three amazing children; Summer, Haleigh and Tye and they’re all great, individual kids. I served as a worship pastor for nearly 10 years before starting Fuel Church with three of my friends and pastors in 2011. The “partners” or members of Fuel are like family to me, and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for my family. I believe Jesus had a genuine interest and passion for people and my heart and the heart of Fuel is to “love people right where they are.” I enjoy hunting, fishing, playing golf, reading and spending time with my family.

Hey everybody! It is my great joy to serve the Fuel family as your Executive Pastor. My wife, Courtney, and I were married in 1996 and have 4 wonderful children! We’ve served in various roles in church ministry including: youth. young adult, executive pastor, and lead pastor. I have a Bachelors of Science Degree in Business and Professional Leadership from Southeastern University and a MBA from Florida International University. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, running, mountain biking, and reading (well listening to audio books but Courtney says it doesn’t count. Let me know if you agree).

Micah 6:8 : “He has told you, oh man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God”.

My wife Nikki and I are the proud parents of our two girls, Macie and Morgan. I am a Lakeland native and graduated from Lake Gibson High School. GO BRAVES! Following my call to ministry, I earned a degree in Religion from Carson-Newman College in 1998. After college I served as a youth pastor, later making the transition to children’s ministry. I am a very outdoorsy guy, and some of my hobbies are softball, mountain biking, boating, and fishing.

Greetings everyone! My wife Ruth, and I, are thrilled to be a part of this great Fuel Staff and Church family. We moved here from Allentown, Pennsylvania in 2013. We have been blessed to be involved in various full time Church/Pastoral ministries for the past 40 years. We have 3 terrific sons, and daughter in-laws, and 10 precious grandchildren who we adore. It is our desire to help as many people as we possibly can, to find and grow in their relationship with Christ, and become fully devoted disciples of Jesus Christ. We love people, and we love caring for them. I personally love the outdoors, hiking, hunting, and camping, and I enjoy reading. Let us know how we can care for you! #FuelCares4U

Our life verses are Proverbs 3:5-6

Hey Fuel Family! I am super excited to be serving as your worship leader. I got married to my high school sweetheart Makayla in 2021. Some of my hobbies are playing guitar, studying theology, hunting, and hiking. I double majored with a B.A. in Worship Ministry and a B.S. in Church Music. I am passionate about what I do because the purpose of worship is to let the words of Christ dwell in us richly (Col 3:16) and through that move us to a greater love for God. Our knowledge of God is not and cannot be disconnected from our worship of Him.

Hello! I’m Pastor Beau and I have the great honor of being your Student Pastor here at Fuel Church. I have been married to my wife, Alexa, since 2017. God has blessed us with one very happy son named Billy. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Ministry Studies from The Baptist University of Florida. My hobbies include: reading, playing basketball, board games, grilling, and spending time with my family. It is my heart’s desire to lead students to a growing relationship with Jesus and help them see Him as the greatest joy and treasure of their hearts.
