Mike Kearney was born and raised in the Philadelphia area. He came to saving faith in Jesus after graduating from college, and eventually sensed God's call to gospel ministry and to undergo training. He graduated from Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, in 2003, and was ordained in 2004. Along the way, Mike met and married his wife Jennifer. They are blessed with three daughters: Miriam, Lydia, and Joanna. With roots at historic Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, and experience ministering in Korean-American church circles, Pastor Mike came into the Orthodox Presbyterian Church in 2015, upon being installed as the minister of Covenant here in Cedar Falls. Iowa is proving to be a pleasant change-of-pace for him and his beloved family. While Mike's passion is the preaching and teaching of the Bible, God's Word, he does have hobbies like following Philadelphia sports teams, running, and reading. He requests the prayers of the saints, that the Holy Spirit would be at work through his ministry and the church's overall kingdom work of worship, discipleship, and outreach. May it be that Christ our Savior and Lord would be lifted up and proclaimed, and that many might be powerfully drawn to him and added to his church. To God alone be the glory!
