Pastor Michael Wallace has joyfully served as the associate pastor at Christ Presbyterian Church in Canton, Ohio, for the last seven years.
Michael is a graduate of Baldwin-Wallace College, where he double majored and received a BA in Spanish and Music; Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, where he received his Master of Divinity; Cleveland State University, where he received his MA in Spanish linguistics; and Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary, where he received his ThM in Old Testament.
Before coming to Canton, Michael served in music ministry for almost a decade in various worshipping communities around Cleveland and Pittsburgh. He has also sung with several different ensembles, including the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus, the Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh, and the High Holy Day choir at Temple Israel (Canton).
Michael currently lives in Canton, Ohio with his wife of ten years, and their three beautiful children: Theophilus (8), Genevieve (6), and Nathaniel (3). Starting in July, the entire Wallace family have a semester abroad in Barranquilla, Colombia while Michael has a sabbatical from the church. During this semester, Michael will teach Systematic Theology at the Reformed University, Courtney will teach English, and their children will attend the Colegio Americano. They are looking forward to this new adventure and all improving their Spanish together.
