Michael Vaughn was born in Elmira, New York, where he lived until moving to Rochester to attend school at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). There he received his Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) and a Masters of Science in Imaging Science. Along with serving as the Senior Pastor of New Wineskin Church, he also works as a Manager at Harris Corporation, Space and Intelligence Systems. In order to gain greater insight into the Word that he preaches, Pastor Michael obtained a certificate acknowledging his completion of the required course work from Elim Bible College. Pastor Michael married the love of his life and best friend, Sheila Stokes on May 4, 1991. Their union has produced five wonderful children - Caleb, Shekinah, Zoe, Zachary and Samuel. Pastor Michael has a deep desire to see the people of God walk out their purpose on the earth. He believes that everyone has purpose and that he has been blessed with the unique ability and calling to help draw that purpose out. The messages he gives are challenging and life-changing. He loves seeing growth occur in the lives of those that adhere to the teaching of the Word! One of his favorite themes is to "stretch" people. He does not seek to break them, but presses them to realize what the Lord has for them. His favorite statement is one that a former teacher gave to him - "God is preparing you for what He is preparing for you." See less
