Lafayette High School Hall of Fame
PASTOR MIKE BREAUX
Class of 1974
Pastor Mike Breaux is a 1974 graduate of Lafayette High School where he participated in track and band. A 1978 graduate of Lincoln Christian University and Seminary where he also attended graduate school. Pastor Mike did student ministry for twelve years in Illinois, Cincinnati, and Lexington. He has been serving in ministry for 50 years.
Pastor Mike was the lead pastor at Southside Church in Harrodsburg, following his student ministry untl God called him to plant the Canyon Ridge Chrisitian Church in Las Vegas, Nevada.
This led God to call Pastor Mike back to lead Southland Chrisitan Church in 1996 as the Senior Minister following one of the most revered ministers of our time, the Reverend Wayne Smith, a very tough calling. For eight years Pastor Mike led Southland through the challenges of transition and growth to over 8,000 people in five weekend services. During those eight years added more teaching space to the orignal building which was founded and started my Reverend Wayne Smith.
Pastor Mike thought he would be at Southland forever, but again God has other plans. He asked Pastor Mike to move to Chicago and help lead a church called Willow Creek Commuity Church in South Barrington, Illinois, in 2003. Following Willow Creek he moved to Heartand Church in Rockford, Illinois.
Pastor Mike now preaches 46 weekends a year at six different churches. It's very unique.
Ministries include Central Illinois, Cincinnati Ohio, Harrodsburg Kentucky, Las Vegas Neveda, and Chicago Illinois. Lake Pointe Church in Dallas, Texas, Eastside Church in Anaheim Southern California, Real Life Church in Valencia, California, Mission Church in Ventura, California. Northiside Church in New Albany, Indiana, and Pinelake Church in Mississipps plus his hometown of Lexington where he served as the pastor of Southland Christian Church.
He is the author of three books and travels extensively speaking at churches and gatherings around the country. He and his wife Debbie (1974 Henry Clay graduate) currently resie in Nicholasville, KY and have three children and 10 grandchildren.
