Mike and Toni Gonzalez
Preaching PastorWe are so glad to have Pastor Mike and his precious wife Toni back with us. What a blessing to God’s house! He touches hearts and fills us with God’s Word.
Mike and Toni have been married for 40 years and have eight children. Their life together has been an interesting journey of faith. They live in West Palm Beach where, after 35 moves over a period of 18 years, they are happy to have a place that they call home. We as a church are proud and privileged to have them as members of our church family.
While serving HIGHPoint church as pastor, Mike is also the General manager of WFGC Television, which is an affiliate of the Christian Television Network. WFGC also develops many other media technologies that are being used for the global spread of Christianity. His career in broadcasting began in the Tampa Bay area of Florida as a radio announcer. Impressed with the power of radio and television to reach beyond the boundaries of race, religion, money and politics, he found mass media to be just the right tool to speak to our common need for purpose, hope, and vision.
With over thirty-eight years in broadcasting and Christian ministry, understanding and encouraging people is what he really cares about. Instead of focusing on what makes people different, he understands what we all have in common and knows what it takes to bring out the best in people. Because his life experiences have made him a great student, he has become a great motivator and Bible teacher.
It is God Himself who calls men to the ministry and qualifies them with gifts (Acts 20:28; Ephesians 4:11), and on December 15, 2013, Mike was ordained into the ministry here at HIGHPoint. He has been a vital part of this ministry and previously served for over a year, between 2013-2014, as our Preaching Pastor.
As a pastor and broadcaster, he is using his years of experience, technical expertise and understanding of God’s grace to reach people near and far with the Gospel. We are excited and honored to have him and Toni back home!
