    BIO

    Pastor Sheldon Beilke carries a powerful legacy of faith. As the grandson of a fire-filled pastor who helped ignite his early love for God and people, and raised in an atmosphere of revival, prayer and purpose - that spiritual inheritance shaped him into the bold Spirit-led leader he is today.


    As a Senior pastor, Pastor Sheldon is a visionary innovator with a heart that beats for missions and outreach. Whether he's leading a congregation, launching community initiatives, or taking the message of Jesus to the nations, his mission is clear: to reach the lost, equip the Church and ignite transformation through the power of the Holy Spirit.


    For the past 19 years, together with his wife, Pastor Crystal Beilke, they are raising a generation to know Christ and live out the gospel with purpose, passion and leads with humility, courage and a fierce commitment to see Heaven invade earth-one soul, one city and one nation at a time.
