My name is Michael Sove. I previously planted and rescued churches in Indiana and Ohio and came here in 2006 as Cell Pastor (Pastor of Life Groups). I am passionate about seeing leaders raised up and new groups started. I have a big heart for missions. My wife serves as Office Manager at Allen Memorial.
Contact me if you have questions about Life Groups and want to be involved at any level. msove@allenmemorial.org
