Rob Pearson

Rob Pearson
Youth & Connections Pastor

ABOUT ME MY GOSPEL STORY: I grew up in a home where I heard the truth of Gods Word and was regularly at church. At age 5 I was in counsel time at Awana and a man by the name of Dean Lundberg was teaching how heaven and hell are both real places and the only way to heaven was to put your trust in Jesus who died for your sin. I prayed to God with my mother in a back room, confessed my sin and put my trust in Jesus. Though I am a sinner God chose to love me and continues to show me that over and over again. WHAT I DO AT LWF: I get to serve God in teaching His Word, discipleship and having fun with our youth we call Hydrate, I’m very blessed to be doing this with youth leaders who love youth and love Jesus. My role as a connections pastor is to connect all people to God, but new comers to the church and the body to each other. MY FAVORITE THINGS: Hobby: Shooting Food: Too many to choose from; Reuben sandwiches, breaded pork tenderloins, BLT... Movie: I'm not good at picking just one: Braveheart, Lethal Weapons (all of them), 2 Guns, The Proposal
