Mike Richardson
Lead Pastor and a Part-Time Barista
Hi! I came to Indianola in June of 2012 to serve as its Lead Pastor. I felt that my past life experiences had uniquely prepared me for the specific challenges facing this church, and I was excited to see what God could do in this most fascinating of situations. My passion is to help people experience the power of God transform their lives. It has been a joy for me to watch our multigenerational church become more committed to reaching the younger generations who live on and around The Ohio State University campus. On a personal note, I am a diehard Cleveland Browns fan and yearn for the days when my Browns can rise to the excellence of our Buckeyes! And, yes, I now am a part-time barista at Coffee Underground—the best coffeeshop in the Indianola neighborhood.
