Mike Crotteau
Mike and his wife, Traci have been blessed with five wonderful years of marriage. They live in Deer River and are gifted with a beautiful daughter, Hattie, and baby boy, Aricin, born in December 2010. They began attending WCC soon after our move from Alaska in mid-2008. One of Mike’s favorite verses from Scripture comes from Paul’s letter to the Church at Colossae, “Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel.” – Colossians 1:21-23a.
