Meet our pastors

Rev. Michael Carpenter
Senior Pastor
Pastor Michael was appointed to Lost Creek in 2024 after serving for a decade in churches in Oklahoma and Nebraska. A native of Ardmore, Oklahoma, Michael studied civil engineering at Oklahoma State University while following a call to ministry. At OSU, he met his wife, Rachel, and the couple have five children.
When Pastor Michael is not at the church or being a dad to his children, he can be found enjoying a good book or, more likely, a good spreadsheet.
