When you’re connected to the heart of God, you’ll never be surprised at the doors He opens, the favor He grants, and the resources He provides.
There are moments in life that change us forever. Pastor Tony Karnes was simply trying to prepare for a sermon series, but God had greater things in store for him AND for hundreds of kids and families in his community. Tony’s journey of faith will inspire and challenge you!

Meet Our Guest
A native of Honolulu, Tony became a Christian in 1995 and has been a part of the Michael Memorial family ever since. In 2000, Tony was ordained into the ministry and accepted the call to serve on staff as Youth Pastor. In 2005, the church called him as Associate Pastor, and in April 2011 he accepted the call to be our Senior Pastor. Tony considers it a “great privilege” to pastor the only church he has ever been a member of. He and his wife, Lisa, have enjoyed the blessing of raising their two children, Kayla and Colton, in the MMBC family.
