Dr. Nate Hettinga
In January, 2020, Nate became the Regional President for Converge Northwest — overseeing over 100 churches in 5 Northwest states. Nate is passionate about multiplying disciples, leaders and churches. He has been married to his childhood sweetheart, Amy, for 33 years and they have 6 children (the youngest 2 adopted from Korea) and 3 grandkids. Nate planted Cascade Church in Monroe, WA in 1997 and led through many seasons of growth over 23 years.
Dr. Peter Vogt
Peter is a friend of Converge Rocky Mountain and an insightful resource for us. As the Dean of Bethel Seminary, Peter is passionate about striving to be a radically counter-cultural follower of Jesus and helping others grow in their capacity in this area as well. His responsibilities include casting a vision for robust online education, partnership with local churches and denominations, identifying ways of serving alumni and local pastors, maintaining all aspects of accreditation for degree programs, representing the seminary to internal and external partners, and supervising faculty.
Carrie Pankratz
Carrie is a church planter’s wife, mom to two teenage boys, and an elementary teacher. Twelve years into their church plant and 19 years into marriage, she reflects on the challenges and blessings of starting a church and living in a ministry bubble. Through struggles, God has strengthened her faith and marriage. Carrie now supports other church ministry wives, and will help you navigate this journey while keeping your families and marriages strong.

Legacy Church was officially established in April of 2022 after two church bodies voted to merge together as one new church. Those churches were Boulder Valley Church of Christ (est. 1875) and Rock Creek Church (est. 1997). Click here to read about the history of these two churches! On June 5th, 2022, we held our first Sunday service together as one new church. We truly believe we are better together, and God’s work in us and through us so far has proven that to be true.

Building Gospel Bridges with the LGBTQ Community - Dr. Peter Vogt
One of the most challenging people groups for churches to redemptively connect with is the LGBTQ community. How do we stand against wayward lifestyles yet still pursue individuals, introducing them to a God who loves them and seeks a relationship with them? Dr. Vogt will walk with us through the timely topic of how to credibly connect with the gay community, love them, and introduce them to a saving faith in Christ.
Navigating the Ups and Downs of Ministry Life as a Pastor’s Wife - Carrie Pankratz
Ministry life is full of beautiful moments and tough challenges, especially for pastors’ wives. In this breakout, we’ll talk honestly about the ups and downs—from celebrating transformed lives to wrestling with criticism and burnout. Together, we’ll explore practical ways to stay grounded in God’s strength, nurture your marriage, and thrive in the calling He’s placed on your life.
Saturday Breakout Sessions
Spark: Fueling a Culture of Evangelism - Drew Tarwater
Evangelism isn’t a program—it’s a culture. In this session, we’ll explore how to spark passion, equip your church, and create an environment where every member feels empowered to live out and share the gospel in everyday life.

Discover how to effectively share the gospel with members of the LDS community in a way that reflects both love and truth. This breakout will equip you with practical tools, biblical insights, and a deeper understanding of LDS beliefs to help you build bridges, engage in meaningful conversations, and point others to the hope found in Christ alone. Whether you're new to this mission field or looking to deepen your impact, this session will encourage and empower you to shine His light.
Bring Real Change To Your Students - Tanna Muse, Sawyer Tripp
Dodgeball and catchy series just aren't enough. There's only one thing that can bring lasting change to students: the Gospel. Learn from our CRM Youth Lead Team how to effectively reach and equip your students to be sent in the gospel to see God work in their hearts and lives.
Leading Change - Rebecca Jacobson
Change in any organization is inevitable - but that doesn't make it easy. Together we'll dive into why change is hard (especially in churches), common mistakes leaders make, and steps we can take to successfully move ideas and programs forward without losing our influence…or our jobs.
Reaching Muslims and Jews at Home - Jimmy Smith and Dr. Eugene Saunders
The middle east is in crisis. Pro-Palestinian protests rage on college campuses. But, how do our churches best respond and equip our people to reach the Muslims and Jews in our lives? Get insight on some common challenges and responses relating to these individuals. Discover practical tools to bridge the divide and introduce Jesus into these relationships.
Leadership in Unplanned and Chaotic Events - Pastor Brian Hays
In times of crisis, true leadership is revealed. Join Pastor Brian Hays for a compelling and practical session on navigating unplanned, chaotic events with confidence and compassion. Drawing from real-world experiences in law enforcement, ministry, and major crises like shootings and fires, Brian will unpack essential strategies to help you prioritize people, restore calm, and lead with clarity and purpose. Discover how the hope of the Gospel, combined with beneficial tools, can empower you to build trust, guide others through uncertainty, and make a lasting impact when it matters most.
