New Wineskin Ministries, Inc.
Michael Vaughn, Our Senior Pastor
Michael Vaughn was born in Elmira, NY where he lived until moving to
Rochester, NY to go to school at the Rochester Institute of Technology
(RIT).   There he received a Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering
(BSEE) and a Masters of Science in Imaging Science from RIT. Along
with serving as the Senior Pastor of New Wineskin Church, he works as
a Senior Image Scientist at ITT Geospatial Systems.

In order to continue to gain a greater level of insight into the word in
which he preaches, Pastor Michael obtained a certificate acknowledging
his completion of the required course work from the Elim Bible College.

Pastor Michael married the love of his life and best friend, Sheila Stokes
on May 4, 1991.  Their union has produced five (5) wonderful children,
Caleb, Shekinah, Zoe, Zachary and Samuel.

Pastor Michael has a deep desire to see the people of God walk out their
purpose in the earth.  His belief is that everybody has purpose and he
has the unique ability and calling to draw that purpose out.  His
messages are challenging and life changing and for those that adhere to the
teaching, will see growth occur in their lives!

One of his favorite themes is to "stretch" people.  He does not break
them, but presses them to realize what the Lord has for them.  His
statement is one that a former teacher gave to him, "God is preparing
you for what He is preparing for you".
