PASTOR ELDER

Bart and Kristen Hodgson have been in ministry for over thirty years. It all began when they met at the University of Arkansas. But their ministry journey has taken them to Louisiana, Colorado, Texas, Missouri, Oregon and Washington. Bart has served in various pastor roles: youth, worship, lead, executive, and now church planter. Bart attended Denver Seminary where he received his MA in Counseling and his MDIV. Most recently, Bart co-planted Covenant Baptist Church in Springdale.

Kristen's main love was raising their three children. But around those years, she worked as an elementary teacher, a photographer, and in development for non-profits. Their children are Hannah, Carmen and Isaac. They now have three grandchildren, Beau, Emmett and Margaret.

Bart loves fellowship, good coffee, hates pineapple on pizza, and is the fixer of all things. Kristen loves connecting with others, learning animal husbandry, and most of all, playing with her grandchildren. Together they are raising sheep, rabbits, chickens and bees at Hodgson Hill Farm.
