Michael Lum Pulpit Minister

"We are thrilled that God has led us to Meadowlark. If you are looking for a loving family where you can be involved in real ministry, this is the place. My family has received such a warm welcome from the adults, staff, and youthgroup as a new family--these people truly care about one another and sharing Jesus. As the pulpit minister, my focus is on preaching, teaching, and pastoral care. If you are looking for a church home, visitors are always welcome--so give Meadowlark a try!" — Michael
