Michael Gallaugher is the worship pastor at Central Vineyard Church in Columbus, Ohio, and a passionate worshiper with a strong feeling for pop rock hooks and anthemic choruses. Michael has been involved in worship ministry since 1995, being an integral worship leader of Vineyard Church of Columbus and their young adult ministry, Joshua House, where Michael got his start leading worship. On his Robberfly Music label, Michael has recorded several albums of well crafted, memorable music for the modern worshiper.

Michael's new album “Unleash Hope” examines themes of justice, lament, relationship, and praise all in the context of worshiping God. Michael’s passion is seeing people respond to God with abandon in worship, but perhaps his MySpace tagline says it better: “Worship, baby!”

Michael has been married to Sara since 1999. They have 2 children: Katie and Patrick.
