Mitch Wallin
I came to faith in Christ during my early adolescent years through the witness of my parents and the teaching of the Lutheran church. Both Young Life and FCA were influential in my high school years in developing my relationship with God. It was my undergraduate years at Wheaton College that served to deepen my faith and cultivate a desire for missions. Accountability through small groups has been critical for maintaining my faith walk. I currently meet with three Christian men on a regular basis to share and pray.
Community building and a passion for missions are qualities I will bring to the vestry. God has given me a heart for the poor and the sick. I’m a neurologist at the VA Medical Center, where I care for many of Washington’s urban poor and teach medical students and residents. I remain active in medical teaching and research in the developing world. At my former church, I served as a deacon and lead usher.
I’m excited to be a part of the ministry of Restoration and currently serve on the Outreach Team and as a small group leader. I’m blessed with a loving wife and two young, energetic boys. I see Restoration as being a place of love, grace, and justice that is catalyzed by the gospel. Our church body and ministries should be attractive to our postmodern culture and the diverse population of metropolitan Washington. Our mission should be outward focused to the local community and the world.
