What does it take to plant a church with no money, no members, and no building?
In this episode of the Imagine Moore Podcast, Rose Young sits down with Father Michael McKinnon, Senior Priest and Pastor of The Anglican Church of the Advent in Southern Pines, for a thoughtful and inspiring conversation about faith, leadership, service, and courage.
From his early years in New England to ministry in remote villages along the coast of Labrador and Newfoundland, Father Michael shares how his calling unfolded, and how that calling led him to Moore County in 2022 to plant a church from the ground up.
We explore:
• How Anglican Catholicism differs from Roman Catholicism
• What it means to be “evangelical Catholic”
• Why the Church must move beyond its walls
• How faith shows up in fire stations, community organizations, and everyday life
Father Michael also shares his heart for service as Fire Chaplain for Southern Pines, his work with Rotary and Meals on Wheels, and why he believes community presence matters just as much as Sunday worship.
Whether you’re curious about church, leadership, or simply the story of someone who said “yes” to an impossible calling, this episode invites you into a deeper conversation.
