Michael Buckingham - Director

Michael's business card says founder and creative director of Holy Cow Creative but really, he's just a guy who wants to help the church stop being so ... churchy. His mission is to change the way the church does church by changing the way they communicate.

After years in high-level corporate marketing, Michael launched Holy Cow Creative to banish mediocrity from church communications. How Cow Creative is a strategic church communications firm and design studio. They've won awards, published articles and even been interviewed on TV.

Michael grew up in the church but as an adult strayed from the fold as he became more and more invested in his career. Even though he had it all he realized something was missing and returned to God. Today he's actively involved in his hometown church, and has volunteered as a youth leader and small group leader. Currently he's on the praise team and helps cast the vision for the church's various productions.

You may have seen Michael in person at one of the many events he's spoken at, including the HOW Design Conference, NRB and MinistryCOM. You can run into Michael online at his blog or on Twitter.

Michael and his wife, Carrie, and sons, Tyler and Parker, live in Midland, Mich.
