Mike Arldt was born in Austin, Texas and has been in ministry for 26 years. He holds degrees in psychology and biblical studies, and has been serving Saddleback Anaheim for five years as the Engagement Pastor. His favorite Bible verse is Psalm 27:1, “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”
Mike loves going to Disneyland, exploring the world on cruises, and trying out new restaurants. But most of all he enjoys spending time with this family: his wife Meredith, a local administrator at a Christian school, and his sons Will and Sean.
