Pastor Sheldon grew up in Ohio (die-hard Buckeye's fan) and is an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God. He attended North Central University in Minneapolis, where he received his Bachelor's degree and a Master's in Strategic Leadership. This is also where he met his wife, Michelle. They have two adult children, Ty and Kristen. Sheldon loves the outdoors, all kinds of sports, but most of all, spending time with his family. Sheldon's personal mission is to love, inspire and lead people to become life-giving followers of Jesus. Sheldon and Michelle were led to the ThriveChurch pastoral team in March, 2020.
