Listen "Plant, Ready, Aim with Noel Heikkinen"
Episode Synopsis
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.
