Pastor Michael Keller

Lead Pastor, Men’s Ministry

Born and raised in Minot, North Dakota, Pastor Mike made a decision to receive Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior at the age of 20. After seven years of serving and receiving ministry training in a local church, he sensed the call of the Lord for ministry as a pastor. In June of 1981 he pioneered a church in Pipestone, MN. His desire for people is to learn how to live by faith and acquire revelation of who they are in Christ was evident in his teaching and preaching.

In 1986 the Lord spoke to him about moving to Grand Forks, ND to once again start a church. For 38 years, Pastor Mike has served as lead pastor of Living Word Family Church and continues to help believers learn how to live by faith, discover who they are in Christ, and know the Goodness of God. His teaching and preaching are easy to understand and applicable in everyday life.

Pastor Mike co-pastors with his wife Kimberley. Together they enjoy watching football, fishing for walleye, and cooking together!
