Mike Burn

Mike leads Rising Generation Music (previously known as Family Worship Resources), and has been writing and recording songs for over 30 years.

Mike has been involved in local church leadership and church planting, and attends Catford Community Church in south-east London. He has also visited numerous churches over the years of all denominations, sizes and styles, leading services and workshops, and is keen to see how music and creativity of all types can help the church to stay relevant, and to attract and engage all ages in a local, national and international context.
