Having a heart for youth, Mike began serving in his church as a youth leader; working with junior high, senior high, and college students. During this time, Mike felt a strong calling to ministry and began his education with Liberty University. In late 2016, Mike had an amazing ministry opportunity arrive in his mailbox, and by December of that same year the Grahams had moved to northern Michigan and joined Northland as Associate Pastor of Youth and Family Ministries. Mike’s passion is seeing students develop a lasting, healthy relationship with Jesus.
