Prior to joining St. Thomas, he served as Staff Officer for Church Planting Infrastructure on the Presiding Bishops’s Staff of the Episcopal Church. In the announcement of his accepting the call to lead St. Thomas, the Episcopal Church’s leadership said, “The Episcopal Church’s movement for church planting has thrived with Mike Michie’s prayerful and practical leadership. He epitomizes the balance of good humor and a holy zeal to share the Good News in every corner of our communities.”  While citing the heart and passion he has for church planting and mission development, Rev.
