Michael and Trisha Houle are one of the Midwest North Region’s Area Pastors, serving Northern, Eastern, and Southwestern parts of Wisconsin and are the lead pastors of Valley Vineyard Church in Chippewa Falls, WI. Michael and Trisha, along with their two children, planted the church in 2005, from their living room and have enjoyed watching
the church grow and affect their community for Jesus. The church currently runs the only weekly food pantry in Chippewa County and is in the process of getting ready to build a Family Outreach Center to truly be the hands and feet of Jesus to the families of the Chippewa Falls community.

Trisha, along with serving the church, is a full time mental health/AODA nurse as well as health coach and Michael serves on the Multiply Vineyard Team serving and helping multiply rural churches. Michael, prior to pastoring, was a special education teacher and continues to substitute teach in our community from time-to-time.
