Michael Butler
Marion Station,MD
Summary
I first excepted Christ when I was 13 years old at Marion Baptist Church, in Marion, MD. However, I did fall away after entering the military. I felt the pull of the Holy Spirit on my heart again in 2009 and rededicated my life to Jesus soon after. After losing my wife in 2012 to cancer I started working more within the church. Soon I felt the call into ministry and in 2017 I entered MBTS to further understand that call. Since then I have held many volunteer positions within the church including Adult Teacher, Trustee, Youth Minister, and Youth Teacher. I have severed on the Finance Committee at 2 different churches, the missions team, the youth outreach team, and the maintenance and grounds committee. I love God and want to see His church grow.
