Mike Bodine, Senior Leader

Mike serves as Central’s Senior Leader. He is humbled to serve God in “Grace City.” During more than twenty years of full-time ministry, Mike served churches in Illinois, Missouri, and New Mexico before joining the Central team.

As Senior Leader, Mike’s primary role is to take Central’s mission, vision, and values and provide the necessary leadership to the staff, ministries, and operations of the church to make them a reality. Mike is also a frequent consultant to churches and ministries across the country.

Mike’s passion is to see people grow to reach their full potential in becoming the person God created them to be. His vision is to see God do something huge in the Las Vegas Valley—something so big that only God can get the credit. He and his wife Lisa have been married more than twenty-five years and have four children - and three daughter-in-laws, with their fifth grandchild due in this July.
