Mike Mawhorter - Interim Lead Pastor
Mike is honoured and grateful for the opportunity to be able to fill in as Interim Lead Pastor at LBC. He pastored for more than 40 years, including three Fellowship churches in Markham, Ont., Prince George and Ladner, BC. He pastored LBC from 2003-2019. During that time he served on both the Regional and National boards of the Fellowship, and completed a DMin through Northwest Baptist Seminary and TWU. After “retiring” in 2019, he worked at the Fellowship Pacific office for five years, until the end of 2024.
He and Kathy met at University, got married right after graduation, and have been married for 51 years. They have four children (all married), 25 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. Mike’s personal mission statement is to be a growing follower of Jesus for his whole life, and to help others become the same.
