Chapel 4/19 – Pastor Mike Elkins

Mike Elkins has been the lead pastor at New Hope Community Church in Bryan, Ohio, for the last 6+ years. Driven by “helping people find hope one step at a time,” Mike searches for ways to help people experience this hope in creative and engaging ways — such as working out, running, hiking, or having coffee with people. Mike is ordained through the Church of the United Brethren in Christ and serves on the executive leadership team for the denomination. One way he loves serving is by being on the Board of Developmental Disabilities for the county he lives in and serving people in the community who live with disabilities. More important than his role as a pastor, he is a husband and a father to four kids who are pretty amazing humans!
