The Peoples (Staff)
Rev. Mike Estep
Serving as the director of the FSU Wesley Foundation, Mike is the senior pastor of LIFE United Methodist Church and a Certified Spiritual Director. He is married to Sarah and dad to Abbey McGrew (Tanner), Jacob (Flora), and Sam. Mike loves to hike West Virginia and
stare at waterfalls.
Rev. Lawrence Rebelo
“Where are you from?” is a hard question for Lawrence to answer. He’s lived all over the place: graduating from high school in Chattanooga, college at West Virginia Wesleyan in Buckhannon, and seminary in Washington D.C. (Wesley Theological). He’s happy he’s landed in Fairmont, where he is the director of Youth Ministry at LIFE UMC as well as pastoring Community and Johnson Chapel United Methodist Churches in Morgantown, West Virginia.
