In Acts 29, our hope is not only to plant healthy, multiplying churches, but also that these churches become multigenerational. Riverview Church, also known as “Riv,” was planted at Michigan State University in 1977 by a small team of planters from Iowa. Today, it’s a multi-site church with four venues in the midwest and has sent pastors to serve all over the world, including Ukraine, Brazil, and two countries in East Asia, with 58 churches planted by the churches they’ve planted. Joining me on today’s episode is Noel Heikkinen, pastor of Riverview Church in Lansing Michigan. Riverview is celebrating her 45th birthday this year, so we’ve invited Noel to share their story to encourage us in church planting for the long haul. Noel is the pastor of Riverview and is also the US Midwest regional executive director for Acts 29. He and his wife, Grace, met at Michigan State University and have four adult children.

There’s nothing like sitting down and listening to an experienced pastor share some of his lessons from a life of gospel ministry. We all need to be reminded of sustaining truth on this road. Like the roll-call of names in Hebrews 11, faithful pastors point us to the unchanging, eternal, and sufficient faithfulness of our God. As he kept and used these men and women, he will keep and use us for his glory. Steve Treichler joins the podcast today to discuss lessons in ministry through 25 years of pastoring and planting. Steve is the senior pastor of Hope Community Church in Minneapolis, MN, which he planted in 1996. He serves as the associate regional director for the Midwest region in Acts 29 US, is married to Carole, and has three grown children. He enjoys flyfishing, duck hunting, remodeling & woodworking, brewing beer, and smoking quality cigars in his free time.
