Michael Rollins, Youth and Associate Pastor
Meet Pastor Michael Rollins Michael Rollins is the associate and youth pastor at Cumberland Homesteads Baptist Church—which basically means he gets to teach God’s Word, wrangle teenagers, and occasionally dodge dodgeballs in the name of ministry. Born and raised in Dunlap, Tennessee, Michael is a proud graduate of Sequatchie County High School and Bryan College. He’s also a lifelong Tennessean, which means sweet tea runs in his veins and he says “y’all” with theological conviction. He’s a big fan of Charles Spurgeon and can often be caught quoting the “Prince of Preachers” like he’s a close personal friend. Michael is passionate about helping students and families grow in their walk with Christ—and doing it with a good dose of laughter along the way. He’s been married to his amazing wife Jessica for over 15 years, and together they’re raising three awesome kids: Briley, Charlie, and Landon. Their house is full of noise, fun, and the occasional theological debate over bedtime. When he's not pastoring or parenting, he might be rewatching an 80s classic or trying to finish a book he started six months ago. "It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness." -Charles Spurgeon
