Mike Fordham was born and raised in Tampa, Florida, home of his favorite teams: the Bucs, Rays, and Lightning. He earned an MDiv at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and since 1991 he has served as a pastor of small, medium, and large churches in the United Methodist Church. Mike has been honored to be the pastor of Killearn Methodist Church since 2015 and then joined the Global Methodist Church in June of 2023. Mike shares, without a doubt, the greatest blessing of his life is to be the husband of Missy, father of 4 along with 2 stepdaughters, and extra blessed to be a grandfather of 4 with hopefully more on the way. In his spare time, he enjoys being outdoors and traveling with his wife, spending time with their family (especially grandchildren), and enjoying one of the many benefits of Tallahassee: cheering on the Florida State Seminole teams to victory.
