Michael J. Chanley

Michael J. Chanley is a local pastor obsessed with teaching about God's love. His recent projects have grown from his desire to more fully understand the meaning of "God is love," as written in 1 John. His dedication to sharing what He has learned led him to author an insightful and approachable commentary on the Book of John and a stand-alone journal.

Both resources are available on Amazon, or wherever books are sold.

- "God Called Love: Experience Love, In An Anxious World, Needing Grace"

- "Experiencing God Called Love: 5 Week Journal on God's Love & Guidebook to the Spiritual Practices"

After honorably serving in the Marine Corps, Michael followed his calling to serve in ministry. For over 25 years, he has served in children's and family ministry. He currently serves as the Pastor at Tunnel Hill Christian Church in Southern Indiana. It is a community dedicated to meaningful growth with a vision to "grow in faith, share hope, and to love one another as followers of Jesus." His passion for people led him to pursue degrees in history and sociology. He also earned his Master's from Lincoln Christian Seminary, where he focused on ministry, spiritual formation, and leadership.

Michael has been married for over 30 years to Rose. Together, they have three wonderful children and one grandson. On their small farm, nestled in the highlands of Southern Indiana, they keep chickens, peafowl, a chocolate lab, too many cats to count, and an apiary full of honeybees.
