About BBC Pastor Mike Glenn
Mike Online . . .
One might call him an explorer of philosophy, a dynamic pastor, or a great orator of this generation; but Mike Glenn just likes to be known as “Mike the Storyteller”, one who expresses God’s truth and hope to all people.
Incredibly authentic, humble, and humorous in nature, Mike has an uncanny ability to captivate an audience of people with a contagious fascination for God’s Word—on any platform. But he’s at his best when he’s sitting face-to-face with someone else talking about life over a cup of coffee.
Since he began as pastor of Brentwood Baptist Church (BBC) in 1991, membership in this Brentwood, Tennessee congregation has skyrocketed from 900 to more than 7,000. And attendance at Kairos, a mid-week worship service at BBC where Mike speaks, has grown to more than 1,000 people in just a few short years. Divinely wired for one-on-one interactions with others, Mike still pursues these kinds of relationships with members in his congregation.
A locally and nationally sought-after speaker, Mike was featured at the International Conference on Evangelism in Cambridge, England in April 2007. He’s served as a trustee for Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee for the past seven years and is chaplain for the city of Brentwood. In addition, Mike is the author of In Real Time: Young Adult Ministry As It Happens, in which he describes Kairos’ ministry to the post-modern culture.
Originally from Huntsville, Alabama, Mike graduated from Samford University with a degree in speech and drama and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky with two degrees: master of divinity and doctorate of ministry. Before migrating to Tennessee, he pastored two churches in South Carolina.
Mike is married to Jeannie and they have twin sons, Chris and Craig.
