Mike Devine
Education:
- B.A. in English from University of North Carolina at Charlotte (1994)
- Youth Ministry School at Portland Bible College in Portland, OR (Summer 1992)
Ministry Experience:
Mike began working with the youth group at Covenant in 1990 and subsequently joined the Covenant staff as Youth Pastor in 1992. During his tenure as Youth Pastor, Mike co-led "Exit from Apathy", a community-based youth revival that included fifteen local churches and over 400 teenagers. Mike served faithfully as Covenant Bible Church's Youth Pastor from 1992-2004, until God impressed upon his heart that his season in youth ministry had ended. Mike resigned as Youth Pastor in January 2004 and accepted a position at Lincolnton Middle School as an 8th grade English teacher and head football coach. Shortly thereafter, Mike realized that God had ordained a season of waiting to allow him to see the real world and hurting people from a different perspective. Just two years later on February 5, 2006, Mike accepted the call to be Senior Pastor of Covenant Bible Church.
Family:
Mike and his wife, Krista have three daughters, Jordyn (19), Sydney (12), and Camryn (6).
Personal Mission:
- To see those who have never met Jesus come to know Him and walk in His marvelous grace...the hurting healed...the Body of Christ empowered and worshipping in Spirit and Truth (John 4:23).
- To encourage the church to be passionate and compassionate.
- To destroy the walls that separate us by race, denomination, and social standing...that we will be one as Jesus and the Father are One (John 17).
