- A chocolate milkshake with my pastor, Al Kroeker, when I was in high school sparked 40 years of ministry. He suggested I’d make a good pastor. No thanks, I told him, I want to be a doctor. Upon reflection, this was an early lesson in ministry: Being a pastor isn’t about wanting to be a pastor; it’s about accepting God’s call. Over time, I did. Nothing but God’s call could ever sustain a pastor in ministry. I know. My calling to ministry, particularly as a local church pastor, was initiated and sustained by the encouragement and prayers of God’s people […]
- They have Jesus this time. They know it too, as they rub their hands together gleefully. Off and on for three years the religious leaders have been trying to get him, to trap him into saying something that will either make his people reject him or the authorities arrest him.

The Central District Conference (CDC) is a diverse district of churches found in rural, inner city and suburban communities. Along with our English speaking congregations our district includes Hispanic, Ethiopian, Lakota, Congolese and Slavic congregations.
As part of the family of U.S. Mennonite Brethren churches, the CDC churches have chosen “Churches partnering together to advance Christ’s kingdom” as their vision and motto.
- Annual pastors’ retreats, youth conferences and district conferences help to keep the churches and members of this district connected.
- Planting new churches is a CDC priority. Recent church plants include Redemption Church in Owatonna, MN and Renewal Church in Rapid City, SD.
- God’s kingdom is also advanced in the CDC thanks to an emphasis on helping existing churches to be healthy and reproducing.
