Plant, Ready, Aim with Noel Heikkinen

In Acts 29, our hope is not only to plant healthy, multiplying
churches, but also that these churches become multigenerational.
Riverview Church, also known as “Riv,” was planted at Michigan
State University in 1977 by a small team of planters from Iowa.
Today, it’s a multi-site church with four venues in the midwest and
has sent pastors to serve all over the world, including Ukraine,
Brazil, and two countries in East Asia, with 58 churches planted by
the churches they’ve planted. Joining me on today’s episode is Noel
Heikkinen, pastor of Riverview Church in Lansing Michigan.
Riverview is celebrating her 45th birthday this year, so we’ve
invited Noel to share their story to encourage us in church
planting for the long haul. Noel is the pastor of Riverview and is
also the US Midwest regional executive director for Acts 29. He and
his wife, Grace, met at Michigan State University and have four
adult children.
