Amazing Grace

Our Leaders

MIKE BYNUM,  Teaching Pastor

Mike along with his wife, Cindy and two girls, Tricia and Shelly came to Grace Fellowship in July of 2007 after serving God in Ohio for over twenty years.  While in Ohio Mike earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree from Cedarville College and his Master of Arts in Religion Degree from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School based in Deerfield, IL.  Mike is driven to see people come to experience a genuine life with Christ and      develop into intentional followers of Jesus, who are growing as passionate worshippers.  Mike enjoys many sports, such as baseball, golf, hunting, and Ohio State football - Go Buckeyes!  A good suspense movie is always fun, but especially spending time with his wife and girls.  The Bynum's are excited to be serving God in this new adventure and look for God to bless in dynamic ways here at Grace Fellowship for years to come.

JOHN MANSUR, Senior Ministries/Elder

John has been a Christian since 1967. He and his wife have been married for over 50 years, and they have been members of Grace since 1987. He has served as a Deacon and was the first lay Elder in Grace. While Pastor Rhodes was on a one year sabbatical John served as head of the Deacon/Elder Board governing the church. John is a retired Air Force Colonel and former Commander of the Eastern Space and Missile Center at Patrick AFB. He is a business owner whose hobby is building harps,  which Vicki frequently plays in our services.

MIKE LOVAN, Director of Discipleship & Administration / Elder 

I am a former Marine and have a B.S. in Microbiology and Chemistry.  I wanted to have things proven to me.  I thought I was a Christian for my entire life, because that is what my folks and grandparents told me.  I started to attend Grace about 19 years ago as a single parent (mainly as a babysitting service). I then became a follower of Christ with the help of a younger Pastor Rhodes. I met my bride and life mate Vivian at Grace Fellowship, we have been married for about 10 years, and with her encouragement I continue the journey with Christ purpose guiding me.  What a journey, what joy, God doesn't take from me but gives me more and more of the blessing he intended for me.  I can not describe the thrill of being the clay and allowing the potter, my Lord and Savior to form me for his work.  I want to help people to take there next step towards Christ and I believe if we can help the men with there walk; then in turn the men will help transform their families, co-workers, etc.
