Sherwood Church has announced Dr. Michael Catt, who served as a pastor at the Albany, Georgia church for 31 years has died. He was 70.
Catt’s lifelong ministry has had a nationwide impact, from his time at Sherwood Baptist Church to his efforts as an executive producer of faith-based films like Facing the Giants, Fireproof, Courageous and Woodlawn through Sherwood Pictures.
The Catt family released a statement last month on social media saying the husband and father faced a major setback.

The Catt family released a statement last month on social media saying the husband and father faced a major setback.
“In recent months, his health has taken a turn for the worse, and he has had several surgeries, hospitalizations, and emergency room visits,” the family said. “Recently, doctors found a tumor in his brain stem. They do not recommend operating on the tumor. Because of this, we have chosen to forego any future cancer treatments, with the goal now being to make him as comfortable as possible through palliative care for the few months he has left this side of heaven.”
A Celebration of the Life & Legacy of @MichaelCatt will be held at @SherwoodChurch in Albany, Ga on Tuesday, June 20.
Visitation will be in the Atrium from 10:00 am – 12:30 pm and the Service will be at 1:30 pm.
