Mike Bogelund

Lead Pastor

Mike is the newest staff addition at First B, having just recently moved down from Calgary.  He loves seeing people come alive in their faith: walking in freedom from their pasts, serving with their gifts, and reaching out to the world around them.  He also enjoys board games, building things, and baking.  Not sure where to plug in at First B? Mike is ready for a chat, with or without coffee, and is happy to help you figure out what’s next!
