CONNECT CONFERENCE
The heart of this event has always been to connect pastoral teams and friends in ministry from all over Minnesota, and that remains unchanged. Our goal is to equip quality Christian leaders and build healthy faith communities to fulfill the Great Commission. We are in this together!
We believe God wants to do incredible things in us and through us in 2024 as we strive to reach the lost throughout Minnesota and our world.
Bring your spouse and pastoral team to Waite Park for a time of fellowship and leadership growth with our guest speaker, Sam Rijfkogel.
SPEAKER
Sam Rijfkogel, Lead Pastor at Grand Rapids First
Pastors Sam and Brenda Rijfkogel have served at Grand Rapids First since 2006. Pastor Sam’s creative communication style brings a fresh perspective to sound biblical doctrine. His own family’s conversion is a fruitful testimony of world missions outreach and is the foundation of his deep passion for missions. He and his wife, Brenda, lead by example as they serve and love the community. Their greatest joy is spending time with their family.
