Pastor Mark & Connie Radeke

Here is a little about me and my heart for River of Life. I joined the team in 1996 and have been serving as lead pastor since 2005.

My passions for River of Life are:
Seeing people discover how much God loves them.
Enjoying the spiritual journey together with a group of adventuresome people.
Watching ordinary people doing extraordinary things when they follow Jesus.

I married my high school sweetheart, I have five fantastic children, their spouses, eleven grandchildren with numbers twelve and thirteen coming this summer!

I dairy farmed with my father for 13 years after high school, went to college as an adult and even later, completed a master's degree at Bethel Seminary.

I enjoy BWCAW camping, hockey, hunting and doing anything with my wife, Connie and my family.

I hope to meet you soon!
