Mike Hutchins
Elder
Mike was born in Bolivia and raised in a non-Christian home in Colorado. Over 25 years ago, he came to faith in Jesus as Messiah and was baptized—marking the beginning of a lifelong journey of discipleship. He and his wife, Lori, are the proud parents of eight children and, in recent years, have been joyfully blessed with five grandchildren.
Together with his family, Mike has had the distinct privilege of serving as a missionary in Mexico—first in the northern border city of Ciudad Juárez, and later in the southern state of Chiapas. His ministry included village outreach, church planting, discipleship, and evangelism, all of which he embraced with passion and purpose.
A dedicated student and advocate of both Reformed and Biblical theology, Mike has pursued deep theological study throughout his Christian life. He is currently reading Angels by Dr. Michael Heiser.
Professionally, Mike has spent many years working as a software developer. Outside of work, he enjoys fishing, hiking, woodworking, and relaxing at the cigar shop. During his time in Mexico, he developed an interest in coffee—learning to grow, process, and roast it. To this day, he continues to roast his own coffee at home.
