OUR TEAM
Bob Henkelman
Lead Pastor
Pastor Bob didn’t grow up in the church but at age 23 recognized his great need for a Savior, and chose to follow Jesus. Bob answered the call to full time ministry after being miraculously healed of chronic progressive Multiple Sclerosis in 1996. Healing, restoration and reconciliation are cornerstones of his ministry. Bob has served as an ordained lead pastor in the Assemblies of God for over 18 years in Minnesota and Iowa. He is the former Iowa Ministry Network Men’s Ministry Director, he served as a Presbyter, and a Development Director for a men’s homeless shelter. He believes every community deserves a healthy church where people feel safe, experience transformation and grow in their relationship with God. He has been married to the love of his life Pamela for 31 years, has five adult children, and 2 grandchildren. For fun he enjoys riding bike and painting.
