The Clevelands

Michael and his family are excited to serve on the GCC Team starting Fall 2024 after serving the Lord in trade-based ministry for many years. Michael accepted Christ at the age of 10, and many years later after a lot of growth and learning he accepted the call to ministry.


He received his bachelor's degree from Anderson University ('16) and his M.DIV. from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary ('23). Michael married his wonderful wife Elizabeth in 2018 after meeting her in seminary.


Elizabeth earned her bachelor's degree from UT El Paso ('16) and worked on her MABC at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. After having their first child Elizabeth realized she had the opportunity and calling to serve as a full-time wife and mother. When she has down-time she enjoys art and reading.


They have four energetic children: Theodore ('19), Aiden ('21), Anne ('23), and Harold ('24).
