Michael Weeks is a fifth generation Disciple born in Enid, Oklahoma in 1961. The oldest of three children, Michael spent his formative years living at Central Christian Camp and Conference Center in Guthrie, Oklahoma where his father, also Disciple clergy, continues to serve as Administrator. His mother also serves the camp in a programming capacity.

His first call to ministry came at a high school work camp. He attended Phillips University and got side tracked in the Mass Communications Department and graduated in December of 1984 with a Bachelor of Science. He served, as a youth sponsor and camp counselor whenever he could, but had to pay the freight by working in the Broadcast business in Oklahoma, Texas, and North Carolina. He managed as many as 25 employees during his first career. Michael finally answered God's call and graduated from Phillips Theological Seminary in 1997. He was ordained at First Christian Church, Guthrie, Oklahoma the next day.

Michael's most significant faith experiences have been in worship at camp and during mission trips in the United States, Mexico, and Central America. He has keynoted and directed camps in three other regions prior to coming to Georgia. His skills include the facilitation, organization, and function of small groups, as well as preaching and teaching in the congregational and camp settings. He has served as Youth Minister at Harvard Avenue Christian Church, Tulsa, Oklahoma and as Associate Minister at First Christian Church, Arlington, Texas.

Michael has a wealth of experience in the administration of camps, having worked in a variety of capacities at camps in Oklahoma. He has also been the President of the Board of Directors of a Disciple camp in Texas.

In addition to serving as Associate Regional Minister for Youth and Young Adults, Michael also serves as Executive Director of Our Camp Christian where he makes his home with his wonderful wife, Michelle Raiford Weeks and his daughter Leah Ruth (Ruthie) Weeks.
