ELDERS (SESSION)
Mike Biggs - Pastor, Teaching Elder
Mike Biggs is the founding pastor of Christ the King Presbyterian Church in Norman, OK.
Mike graduated with honors from the University of Mississippi in 1981 with a B.A. in English. He then attended seminary at Columbia Graduate School of Bible and Missions (now Columbia International University) and Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS, from which he graduated with Masters of Divinity and Masters of Christian Education degrees.
Mike was ordained as a campus minister with Reformed University Ministries, the campus ministry of the Presbyterian Church in America, in 1987, and labored for 14 years in this capacity on two different campuses: the University of Arkansas and New Mexico State University. During his time in Fayetteville, AR, he also served Covenant Presbyterian Church as its Director of Christian Education.
Mike moved to Norman in 2001 to plant Christ the King Presbyterian Church, which was particularized in April of 2004. He has since served as pastor and is involved in planting new churches and Reformed University Fellowships in Oklahoma and throughout the Southwest United States. He is currently working on a book on Christian growth for Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Company.
Mike enjoys golf, playing and teaching the drums professionally, reading, and, obviously, theology. He and his wife Janna have seven children, five boys and two girls, ranging in age from 21 to 10.

Daniel Cary - Ruling Elder
An elder at Christ the King since April 2004, Danny Cary has dutifully served the church in various capacities. Since being a Christian he has only known Presbyterianism but is well schooled and versed (no pun intended) on other denominations. Bouncing from church to church he and his family came across Christ the King and the rest is history. One of Danny’s goals for the church is to see the body act as a body - meaning there is synchronous work as a body to see the culture at large changed. Ideally, a result of this culture change is conversion, not only of our families, but our neighbors. Before his time passes, he plans to see four or five churches planted in the Norman area.
He has spent many hours sacrificing his time for the betterment and growth of the church. The sacrifices in regards to time should be commended. As an elder the one thing that Danny enjoys in particular is seeing the church grow spiritually and in number.
When he is not in church or doing elder activities he enjoys the occasional television show, particularly Band of Brothers and Sons of Guns. During football season he likes to watch OU football games with some of his closest friends, sometimes huddled around a fire pit. While sitting around a fire pit or simply watching television, Danny likes to read theological books and gun magazines, though not at the same time, and invoke deep conversation about theology, football, guns, and sometimes politics.
On top of the list of people who inspire him is Cammy, his wife of several years. “She is a great source of strength for me,” says Danny of his wife. To this day they remain a happily married couple with four children and a cat named Harley.

Jim Leckie - Ruling Elder
Since 2003, Jim Leckie has attended Christ the Kind Presbyterian Church. A studious servant, Jim is the newest elder to join the church leadership group. He has led and continues to lead small groups on topics that range from living out Christ through popular culture to learning about the glorious body of Christ, subjects that challenge the intellect and pushes the Christian to deepen their relationship through Christ. Jim graduated from Oklahoma Baptist University in 1977 with a Bachelors Degree in Religion. Upon graduation and until the present time, he remained predominately Baptist. 1997 was the year in which he took to reformed theology and broke away from his Baptist roots. What pleases Jim as an elder is the privilege to serve communion each Sunday and the ability to communicate the importance of that to those he serves. He is joined by his wife, Pauletta, in this venture of eldership, a journey that they will cherish for a long time. A goal of Jim’s is to plant churches that are aimed at the various demographics in our world. The word of Christ should not be withheld from those who want to listen.

DEACONS
Chris Cope
Chris Cope, a Florida native, came to Norman in 1998 and graduated from OU with a Bachelors Degree in Petroleum Engineering in 2004. After working in the industry and attending a non-accredited seminary program in Denton, TX, he returned to OU for a Masters Degree in Civil Engineering. Chris is currently pursuing his PhD with a research and study focus on providing safe, sustainable drinking water for developing world communities and has traveled to Brazil, Cambodia, Ecuador, and Ethiopia to that end.
Chris and his wife Amanda see their calling and giftings as being of diaconal in nature and hope to work in community development locally and abroad. They live in Norman, OK, and love it.

Wayne Lin
Wayne has been an active member of Christ the King Presbyterian Church since 2004. In 2006, he graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a degree in English. During his time at Christ the King, Wayne has grown in his understanding of the word of God and continues to study that word diligently. He is married to Ashley Lin and has two dogs, Annabelle and Rico.
Wayne’s hope for the church is to grow not only numerically but spiritually as well. Along with growth, Wayne hopes to see several PCA churches sprout up in central Oklahoma. As a deacon, Wayne has begun plans on long-term projects that focus on giving spiritual and physical food to the community of Norman. He is deeply committed to the core values of the church, along with the theological concepts behind them. His personal motto is similar to Nike’s, “Just do it.” He sees tremendous growth opportunities within the church and is happy to be a part of the body.
When deep in thought, Wayne think about what the world would be like without technology and how big of a difference it would make intellectually in society. His hobbies include grilling, jogging, and watching TV.
