Mike grew up in West Springfield, MA. After high school, he attended and graduated from Valley Forge Christian College in Phoenixville, PA, where he met and eventually married Kristin. After college, Mike served as pastor of student ministries in Cumberland, MD. After four years, he moved back to his hometown of West Springfield to start New Day Church. Seeing a huge opportunity in New England to reach the lost, Mike & Kristin took a step of faith, called some friends, and with God's help, started New Day Church. Mike and Kristin reside in Feeding Hills with their five children, Allyson, Lincoln, Barrett, Jonathan, and Andrew.
MEET THE TEAMIn accordance with Matthew 28:19-20, we exist to make, mark and mature disciples of Jesus.
We make disciples by preaching the gospel so people can respond in faith and be saved.
When someone decides to go public with the decision they've made to follow Jesus, we mark them as a follower of Jesus by water baptizing them.
And we help those who get saved and baptized to mature in their faith by teaching them the Word of God (which happens on Sundays and in Small Groups).
In accordance with Acts 1:8, our vision is to fill our region with Jesus-loving, gospel-preaching, disciple-making churches.
We live in the spiritually darkest part of our country and we are hell-bent on flooding it with the light of Christ that shows the way to heaven. And we believe the best way to do this is by starting more Jesus-loving, gospel-preaching, disciple-making churches.
New Day Church is a Jesus-loving, Gospel-preaching, Disciple-making church! We focus on two key activities: large group gatherings on Sundays and Small Group meetings during the week. Our Small Groups operate on a semester basis and offer an excellent opportunity to connect with other believers in our church.
