Mike Axton.... senior pastor

I was born in Eugene Oregon to Orland and Bonnie Axton (who traveled from Oklahoma on their honeymoon and never returned to live there again). I grew up with lots of love from both parents and extended family. After moving to Washington I attended Northwest University where I met the love of my life -Melody. We married in our junior year of college and graduated a year later. I served in two churches, First Assembly in Spokane and Evergreen Christian Center in Olympia, before coming to Federal Way for Brooklake Community Church. I've had the honor of pastoring this wonderful church family since 1979. During this time, I received my Masters degree at Seattle Pacific University in Human Resource Management. Melody and I have three sons and three daughter-in-laws. Basketball has been a big part of our lives with our boys and hopefully with our grandchildren to come. My youngest son, Morgan, graduated from Northwest University majoring in Business with an accounting emphasis. Marc and his wife Krystn live in Spain where Marc plays professional basketball. Marc graduated from Eastern Washington University with a major in Business. Micah, our oldest son, and his wife Bria live in Olympia where he is the director of several medical clinics. He graduated from Evangel University with a major in Business and a graduate degree in Hospital administration from Troy University. You can understand why I am a Proud Dad of three sons.

My interest is fulfilling Gods call, purpose in my life. In a sense I feel like I am still catching up in making my life count.
