Pastor Column
An introduction...and an invitation
BY MATTHEW
MICHAEL
O n June 12, one
week before Fa
ther’s Day, I be
gan my min
istry with
Rocky Creek Baptist
Church, off Johnstonville
Road. Serving as the new
Associate Pastor, I will be
working with preschoolers
and children, as well as fo
cusing on discipleship and
outreach. I am joining Se
nior Pastor Scott Harrell
and Youth Director Matt
Pippin.
My wife and I have been
married for seven years
and have two sons, ages 3
and 1. I was born and have
spent most of my 30 years
in Macon; since returning
from seminary, I have
served two Macon area
churches prior to Rocky
Creek. When we find those
rare moments of unsched
uled time as a family, we
enjoy watching movies,
playing outside, tending a
very small (and so far
unproductive) garden, and
spending time with our
family and friends.
The first time my family
visited Rocky Creek, it was
for an Easter egg hunt,
and we imme
diately felt at
home — Rocky
Creek is a
kind commu
nity of believ
ers where you
can be com
fortable with
who you are,
whether you’re
interested in
exploring the
Christian
faith, are a
new believer,
or have stud
ied the Bible
and known the
Lord your
entire life. We
have found it
to be a very
warm and
gentle place of
worship.
My wife and
I are excited
about invest
ing in the city of Forsyth
through the ministries of
Rocky Creek. This summer
we will have lots of activi
ties for children, youth,
and adults at the church,
and we’d love to have you
join us for worship or fel
lowship. If you’re a first
timer, you’ll know just
Matthew Jackson Michael and his family
about as many people as I
do — we’ll learn names and
faces together!
We are thankful for those
of you in the community
who have already reached
out and welcomed us. If I
can help answer any ques
tions about Rocky Creek,
you may email me at
matthewjmichael@gmail.com.
