Church Planting Episode 8: Rural Church Planting with Mike Feliciano
Nov 4, 2026 • Buzz Kocher, Mike Feliciano
Mike Feliciano, pastor of Hillside Church in Rowsburg, Ohio, shares how years of door-to-door evangelism, missions, and ministry prepared him for church planting. In this episode, we talk about planting a church in Wellington that grew from a high school cafeteria to an old auction barn, walking through loss and his wife's cancer diagnosis, how God provided a building in Rowsburg, serving a small town with tangible care, and why rural ministry frees pastors to be themselves and shepherd their people well.
