The study is led by Michael David Gonzales
Raised in a devout Roman Catholic family, Michael left Catholicism in 1999.
In early 2000, he began attending The Harvest Messianic Congregation in Thornton, Colorado. After getting educated and trained, through the Harvest’s Leadership Training School, Michael served as an elder from 2004 to 2009.
In 2009, he planted The Front Range Messianic Community in Arvada, Colorado where he served as an elder until 2015. During this time, Michael continued his learning through courses from TorahResource and Dr. Darrell Ferguson at Agape Bible Church in Thornton, Colorado.
The Gonzales family relocated to the Pacific Northwest in 2015 where they attended Beit Hallel Messianic Synagogue in Tacoma, Washington. At Beit Hallel, Michael shared the responsibility of teaching the children during Shabbat Service.
In 2018, Michael joined with his friend, Caleb Hegg, in starting Alive In Messiah, a Non-Denominational Bible Church in Tacoma, Washington with an emphasis on the Biblical Sabbath, the Biblical Festivals, and Expository Preaching.
In March 2022 Michael stepped down from his position as an elder at Alive In Messiah and moved back to his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas.
Caleb decided to dissolve the community in Tacoma and focus on his education and his teaching ministry called Pronomian.
Michael is currently working toward starting a Bible study in Northwest Tarrant County with the name, Alive In Messiah. To hear some of his past sermons and teachings, click here.
Michael married his high school sweetheart, Margaret, in 1991. Together they have six children whom they have raised living a Torah lifestyle.
