Lead Teaching Pastor: Michael Rogalski ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. )

Pastor Michael Rogalski

Michael Rogalski arrived on the southern Maryland scene in 2006 and then planted Garage Church in 2008 with both the blessing and guidance of New Life Wesleyan Church.

Prior to this journey, he graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University with degrees in Biblical Literature and Christian Ministries and spent 8 years as a youth pastor. He was once nearly killed by bees, and now lives on a steady diet of Gummi Bears and Ginger Ale. If God hadn’t have called him into church ministry, his childhood dreams would have been to become either a fireman or a robot, or both (his family is glad that didn’t work out).

Other than being married to his beautiful wife, Angela, and being a daddy to his two awesome kiddos, Michael would like to be known for a passion and longing to follow Jesus Christ. He and his family feel honored to be a part of the Garage Church family and look forward to many days of God’s guidance and grace on this new journey.

Getting ready to eat lunch with my little guy. He said, "Let's be hot dog buddies today!" Sounds like a plan.
