SENIOR PASTOR

Rev. Michael (Mike) Alix

Mike has served as senior pastor since 2010.  Prior to that, he served as Blessed Hope’s youth pastor.

He has a B.S. in Youth Ministry from Nyack College and a Master of Divinity from Gordon-Conwell Seminary, through the help of Berkshire Christian College.  He also attended The Berkshire Institute for Christian Studies.

Pastor Mike loves Jesus and His Church.  He desires to see everyone — families and singles, young and old, poor and rich, all races and ethnicity — to live lives transformed by the Gospel and to think with biblically transformed minds (Romans 12:2).

He loves to hang out, talk and has a dry sense of humor.
