Alan Pastian has had the privilege of being a next generation leader working with youth and young adults exclusively for over 20 years and has absolutely loved it. He discovered a faith in Jesus Christ while in the university setting while attending St Cloud State University and obtaining my degree in Communications/Public Relations. He pursued his second degree from North Central University where I graduated and began my journey pastoring youth and young adults in the local church.

He has an incredible journey in ministry from serving with Pastor Rob Ketterling and the incredible team at River Valley Church overseeing our multi-site youth ministry for many years developing and strategizing next gen leadership. He also spent time working with Mark Batterson at National Community Church as part of the campus pastor team and continue to value their mentorship and inspiration in my life. Currently I am leading one of our campus locations at River Valley Church, developing more leadership content and inspiring those in our church community to make a difference and live life to the full.
