Conner and his wife Caroline have been with Go Church since before the beginning of it’s launch. In 2018, they moved from Kansas City, Missouri when Conner believed he was being called to help plant Go Church. Now, they are living in Ridgefield with two beautiful children. Conner is passionate and convicted that the Pacific Northwest is thirsty for Worship and Discipleship that is founded in Biblical truth. While Conner leads both worship and discipleship ministries at Go Church, he firmly believes these two areas are largely interconnected. In his own words, “worship fuels discipleship and discipleship fuels worship. You cannot have one without the other.” In each area of ministry Conner’s heart and strategy aligns with the overall vision of Go Church in the categories of loving God and loving each other. In the interest of serving his church better, Conner is also pursuing a Master of Divinity degree.
