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 and have five fantastic children, a wonderful daughter-in-law and one beautiful granddaughter.
I dairy farmed with my father for 13 years after high school, went to college as an adult and recently 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!
