Mike Bailey

Lead Pastor

Elder Team Lead

Mike joined our team as lead pastor in July of 2020 and relaunched Church of the Open Bible as IMPACT Church in September of that year. He moved here from Massachusetts along with his wife, Beka. They met at a missions conference and were later married in May of 2007. They have six children; Roxy, Joshua, Mason, Sunny, Braxton, and Lucy.

Mike graduated from Liberty with a BS in Biblical Studies in 2007 and from Liberty Seminary with a Master’s in Pastoral Counseling in 2013.

Mike has served in just about every area of IMPACT Church, while still being the full-time pastor. Outside of church, Mike enjoys archery, guitar, frisbee golf, hunting, riding motorcycles, Coke Zero, beard-growing, and sarcasm.

His favorite part of the church is the community of believers and support system that is built when you get plugged in. He believes that working for God’s kingdom shoulder to shoulder with other believers is the best thing he can do with his life.
