OUR HISTORY

GET TO KNOW US

Back in 2013 God gave our pastor and his family a vision to see a church form together around the vision to become Urgent about the things of God. With this world become casual with all things christianity there is a growing yearning for the church to awaken to all that God has called her to be.

In 2015 Pastor Mike and his wife Kaitlin started Urgent Church, and since that day we have seen God do incredible things. We know that this is just the beginning!

Lead Pastor

Mike Ainsworth Jr

Pastor Mike Ainsworth Jr. is a passionate leader, devoted husband, and dedicated father with a heart to see people experience the life-changing power of Jesus. As the founder and lead pastor of Urgent Church, he is committed to meeting people where they are and sharing the gospel with urgency and authenticity.

 

Born and raised in Durham, NC, Pastor Mike felt the call to ministry at a young age. After college, he returned to his hometown with his wife, Kaitlin, to plant roots and build a ministry that reaches beyond the walls of the church. For the past ten years, they have faithfully served their community, leading Urgent Church with a mission to share, serve, see, and send.

 

With a down-to-earth approach and a deep love for people, Pastor Mike teaches the Bible in a way that is both relatable and transformative. His leadership extends beyond the pulpit—he’s actively involved in mentorship, discipleship, and community outreach. In addition to pastoring, he is also an entrepreneur, running a family-owned landscaping business, Go Green Leaf, built on Proverbs 11:28.

 

When he’s not preaching, serving, or leading, you’ll find Pastor Mike spending time with Kaitlin and their two boys, enjoying the outdoors, or investing in the next generation of leaders.

 

His passion is simple: to see people step into their God-given purpose and live with urgency for Christ.
