Mike Brownfield | Director of Operations

I love the vision and mission of Mariemont Church. I was born and raised in the Cincinnati area, came to faith in my early twenties, and have followed Jesus ever since. After 33 years in engineering, I desired a different career path and asked God to open the right door, not knowing it would lead to serving in a full-time church role. I’m grateful to now serve in church operations with a strong and faithful team.

I’m married to my wife, Renee, and have three children and four grandchildren.
