Mike Kirkpatrick was born in Vancouver, British Columbia. In the spring of 2008, he was saved by the grace of God through reading the Bible. After several years as an electrician apprentice, Mike had a desire to pursue the Christian ministry. He began attending Free Grace Baptist Church in the summer of 2012, where he was further exposed to Reformed Theology and came to love and embrace it. In the summer of 2014, he was commissioned by Free Grace to pursue theological training, so he and his wife moved to California to begin three years of studies there. His formal training includes a Bachelors of Arts in Religious Studies from Trinity Western University (2013) and a Masters of Divinity from Westminster Seminary California (2017). Mike's goal is to plant a church in Surrey alongside Free Grace. Mike is happily married and has one daughter.
