    Michael Stewart

    Michael moved to Kansas City to pursue his Master of Divinity degree at Midwestern Seminary. He soon connected with NTC’s sending church and began to discern a calling to church planting. By the grace of God, we intend to send Michael to plant a church in Chicago in the coming years.
