Mike Sanders, Senior Pastor

Pastor Mike joined VMBC as our Senior Pastor in July 2021 after having served as the Senior Pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church in Pikeville, Ky. for 10 years.

He is passionate about all things related to Leadership and connecting with people. One of his favorites things to do is spend a few minutes catching up with someone over a McDonald’s tea (because Milo’s isn’t always available on the run). A native of Alabama, college football isn’t too far down the list either…. ROLL TIDE!!! He also loves spending what he calls “windshield time” with his mustang named Maggie.

He has been preaching for more than 30 years and along with his wife, Christy they have been in Vocational Ministry for more than two decades. Christy is passionate about women’s ministry and together they have a strong desire to encourage other couples in the amazing journey known as marriage. They also homeschool (really Christy does) their three blessings (a.k.a. Children) (1 just graduated high school last year).

Favorite verses (how can you pick just one?) James 5:17-18, Micah 7:7
