Mike and Kristen have been married 15 years and have a son, Judah.

They have been serving together in ministry for the past 16 years, where Mike has served as Youth Pastor, Lead Pastor and Teaching Pastor.
Almost 4 years ago, God called the Hulls to Fargo and they instantly fell in love with the people and community that have become their home.

Over the past several months, God has brought Mike and Kristen back to a long-held dream on their hearts to plant a church! It has become evident that He’s been preparing the ground work long before they had any idea that this would be a reality.

With this realization, they have said yes to the mission God has given them... to point people towards life WITH Him and others!

Kayla and Josh moved back to the F-M community almost 2 years ago, from Arizona.  When they moved, their church in AZ,  said, "Hey, maybe you’ll plant a church!". Never did they actually think God’s plan would bring them back here to be part of this! Kayla is excited about what God is already doing AND what He has in store for all of us and our community, beyond what we could possibly imagine.
