FULL TIME STAFF
MORGAN & ALEX MITCHELL (DIRECTOR)
Morgan’s life looks much like that of the prodigal son. After spending years struggling with drugs, alcohol and the ways of the world, he entered his new life in Christ through baptism in 2003. He has since served the Lord and continues to make him his life passion.
At the age of 10, Alex gave her life to the Lord and received two life visions: missions and intercession. Over the next 10 years of her life she got involved in as many mission opportunities as possible, serving with YWAM and also local churches. 2004 began the next ten year season of learning the art of intercession, applying it to everyday life.
Morgan & Alex have a passion to run after Jesus with their life, to get to know Him, to hear His voice, and to serve Him. They have four beautiful children: Miah, Joseph, Tessa, and Haven.
DAVE EICKENROTH (WORSHIP COORDINATOR)

KAYLAH PARSHALL (COMMUNICATIONS)
Kaylah is originally from the rural community of Wheatland, Wyoming. She grew up in a pastor’s home, so ministry is no stranger to this girl. She has used her gifts as a violinist to serve the Lord since she started playing and got saved in 1994, playing with congregational hymns and on praise teams in every church that she has been part of. In 2011, as she was finishing her Music Education degree from the University of Wyoming, she started teaching private violin lessons, which grew into a full-blown studio with multiple locations and instructors. When the Holy Spirit made it clear that it was time for a fresh start in Kaylah’s life, she made the decision to re-locate and start over in Traverse City. She has been on staff with GTHOP since January of 2023 and is so thankful to be in this new season of her life.
