We’re excited to introduce Samantha Frykholm, our new Director of Women’s Disciple-Making and Leadership!

Samantha brings a heart for discipleship, leadership development, and serving women across our district, and we’re eager for you to get to know her.

“The EFCA Central District conference always has great speakers that speak to exactly where we are at as pastors and able to spur us on in our mutual goal of pastoring the church.

I love the opportunity to network with fellow pastors for encouragement and seeking wise counsel from those that are older and wiser than I am.”

Tyler Murrow is the Youth Pastor at Faith Fellowship Church in Osceola, Iowa.
