Meet Your Providence Church Team

Mike Collins, Interim Pastor | Contact

We have a great church at Providence, friendly and inviting people and a place for
you to belong. But we see our community as much bigger than our church.

We love our city and believe it’s a great place to live! All of us want healthy
environments to raise our kids, have purpose and grow hopes and dreams for a bright
future. As Interim Pastor, I get to be part of helping to work for a better city and the
common good.

I look forward to serving here (it’s my second time around!) getting reacquainted
with everyone , meeting new people and enjoying what God has in store for us in this
new season.
