Mike Webb (pastor) - Conversion To Christianity

Conversion To Christianity

Mike and brother Keith (who had since moved to Queensland) eventually teamed up again to begin work on a Rock Opera based on the prophecies of Nostradamus. It was during research for this project that Mike first became a Christian, initially worshiping at the Noarlunga Corps Salvation Army in Morphett Vale. It was at this point in time that Mike put down the guitar and pulled out of the project with brother Keith, focusing instead on his faith.

Mike, Chrys and the family moved to Berri, South Australia in 1994, where they started a small home fellowship group that eventually became Riverland Shekinah, and in a later name change, Riverland Central Christian Church, a member of the Apostolic Church Australia. It was here that Mike once again began singing and playing guitar as both Pastor and worship leader for the church and Mike was officially ordained as a minister of religion in the Apostolic Church. The church initially met in Berri but eventually moved to Glossop, South Australia.

After planting Riverland Central, Mike Webb became the National Church Planting Director for the Apostolic Church, which included the beginning of churches across Australia, including a church plant in Gerard, an Australian Aboriginal mission in South Australia, and a church and orphanage in Kerala India. Mike later passed on the role for "church planter" to become the state leader of the Apostolic Church for South Australia and the Northern Territory.

In 2006, Mike and his wife Chrys returned to Adelaide to take over Gateway Community Church in Morphett Vale, but remained the Senior Pastors for Riverland Central until handing over the reins to Ps. David and Joella Crossfield in January 2007.
