Central District


Michelle is delighted to serve the Central District again through her new role and responsibilities as she invests in part-time local pastors, clergy families, and part-time congregations. Michelle says, “Our district is ‘ripe unto the harvest’ so now is the time to encourage, equip and release leaders to live into their passion for Jesus as we are the church in the world.”
Rev. Knight will serve in a part-time capacity as the Associate District Superintendent so that she can continue her spiritual writing, spiritual direction, and retreat ministries. “I am really excited about the unique blend of these two aspects of ministry as they do complement one another. Also, I hope the spiritual depth I can bring to coaching our lay and clergy leaders enriches our joint kingdom work here in the six counties we serve in the Central District.”
Michelle and her husband, Eric, have an amazing teenage daughter and two apricot mini golden-doodles. When not drinking a cup of hot tea, you can find her driving her convertible around town with ‘80’s music blaring! She will tell you that she is “…an above-average Duke Blue Devil basketball fan who enjoys dark chocolate and a good mystery book.”
