About

Lead Pastor

Robert Permenter

As a young man about to enter college, Robert had a powerful encounter with the radical love of God, and never got over it. This fueled his drive to learn as much as he could and passionately communicate this message to others so they, too, would experience the transforming joy God offers through Jesus Christ.

A learner and teacher at heart, Robert obtained an MDiv from Denver Seminary and a DMin from Gordon Conwell Seminary. He enjoys using his skills to build a positive community and to interact relevantly with the culture at large. Whether communicating as a pastor, adjunct professor, certified flight instructor or actor, he finds it challenging and rewarding to explore the ‘human condition’ we are all a part of.

In his free time, Robert enjoys acting in theater and film, and spending time with his wife, Chere’, as well as their three adult children, Josh, J.J. (wife Christina) and Niki. You might find them in a trivia contest at a local hangout, sailing Lake Superior or attending an arts or sporting event.
