Michael Rowntree
Michael Rowntree has been a pastor at Wellspring since 2005 – the year after he graduated from the University of Texas (degree in Finance), and also, the year after he married Alicia Rowntree. Together, Michael and Alicia have four kids: Anna, Hudson, Will, and Molly.
Michael became the Lead Pastor of Wellspring Church in 2012, after being mentored for seven years by the previous Lead Pastor, Jack Deere. Jack took Michael all over the world, teaching people how to experience the power of the Holy Spirit and walk in friendship with Jesus. Since 2012, Michael has led the church more deeply into these realities, while also challenging the church to extend Jesus’ friendship—and ours—to the world around us.
Michael speaks Spanish, rides a motorcycle, plays the djembe, and laughs at everything (especially his own jokes)
