Meet the Pastor at The Fountain

Pastor Mike McGuire serves as the Lead Pastor of The Fountain Church in Lawrenceville, GA. Since helping launch The Fountain through a church merger in 2017, he has faithfully led with a deep love for God’s Word, a heart for people, and a vision to see lives transformed by the power of grace.
Known for his relational leadership and down-to-earth teaching, Pastor Mike is passionate about building a Christ-centered, Spirit-led, and multi-generational church where every person feels welcomed and empowered to grow in faith. He is especially devoted to serving the local community—meeting real needs, offering hope, and creating opportunities for people to experience the love of Jesus in practical ways.
His heart is to help others discover their God-given purpose, grow in spiritual maturity, and find authentic connection in the local church.
Pastor Mike is married to his wife, Charla, and together have two sons. Whether preaching on Sundays, leading outreach efforts, or praying with someone midweek, Pastor Mike leads with humility, clarity, and a deep belief that God still changes lives.
