We’re back for Season 2! This season, we’re leaning into growth—not just change, but transformation. Through meaningful conversations with leaders across the Central District, we’re discovering how to grow forward with faith, courage and purpose.
Episode 1: Pastor Angela Jackson
Growth often begins where love meets a need—and that’s where this conversation takes us.
Rev. Dr. Angela K. Jackson, senior pastor and childcare director at Pulse of Life Church in Vermillion, South Dakota, shares how her bi-vocational ministry is helping families, students and her community experience the love of Jesus in everyday life. The church has emerged in the community as a place known for lovingly caring for families with very young children, as well as leading high school and college students to Jesus.

Episode 2: The Fischers
Impact happens where vision meets action—hear how this couple is reaching the next generation.
Pastors Jeff and Lisa Fischer share their journey from decades of ministry in California to answering God’s call to Missouri, where after a challenging wilderness season they planted Unite Church in 2023. This non-traditional church meets in their home and hosts weekly Christian concert outreaches to reach Gen Z, and they’re now launching Unite Underground, a campus ministry at Missouri State University highlighted by their upcoming outdoor college music festival, Campus Fest. Join us to hear their story of faith, courage and creative ministry that is reaching the next generation.

Episode 4: Pastor Bill Campbell
Some ministries grow fast. Others grow deep—anchored in wisdom, patience, and trust in God’s process.
In the final episode of Growing Forward, we sit down with Pastor Bill Campbell from Life Bridge Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to talk about what it means to build ministries that last. From developing healthy teams to integrating sound business practices into ministry life, Pastor Bill shares hard-earned wisdom from years of leading with integrity and vision. As he reflects on the journey of Life Bridge and the lessons learned along the way, this episode offers a powerful reminder that lasting impact comes not from striving, but from steady faithfulness—brick by brick, relationship by relationship, and step by step with God.
