Pastor/Elder
Mike Roddy has been shepherding in local churches around the southeast United States from Tennessee to Florida for over 30 years. Born and raised in south Louisiana Mike joined the Navy when he was 18 and spent 6 years serving our country. It was during his time in the military when the Lord called Mike to salvation. At the age of 25, while working in law enforcement and attending a local Bible college, Mike was called by the Lord into the gospel ministry and was ordained. He served various churches in many positions such as Pastor of Worship, Student Ministries, Mens Ministries, Education, Family and Evangelism. His primary passion is evangelism, discipleship, prayer and serving the people of God.
Mike is married to his lovely wife, Genia, and they have two grown children Caleb and Chelsie who serve the Lord with their families at Awakening Church as well. Pastor Mike’s primary role at Awakening church is preaching verse by verse through the scriptures each Sunday, ministering to all members and attendees through intercessory prayer, and sharing the gospel in our community through natural and creative platforms in accordance with Romans 10:14-18.
The most important thing Pastor Mike would like to be remembered by is that he spent time with Christ in His Word and that he loved God and people.
