Michael & Adrienne Lawrence have five children and began their ministry at Hinson in September, 2010.

After their marriage in 1990, both Michael & Adrienne earned their M.Div. degrees at Gordon-Conwell, and then Michael earned his PhD from Cambridge University in 2002. He came to us from Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington DC after serving as Associate Pastor for over 8 years. Michael loves books more than food and enjoys an eclectic mix of music. He and his family ride bikes everywhere and love outdoor activities.

My wife, Terry, and I have 2 married children in the Portland area and 3 beautiful grandchildren, Julia, Maddie & Jack. My vision is seeing the practical results of servant-hearts. My favorite scripture is MICAH 6:8 "What does the Lord ask of you? To act justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." My Favorite book is whatever biography of an historical figure I happen to be reading at the time. A little known fact about me is that I have windsurfed in the Indian Ocean and climbed Mt. Karisimbi.
