We look forward to welcoming Pastor Dale back to River Church!

The River Conference is excited to announce our next Lead Pastor for RIVER Church in Lakewood, CO: Rev. Dale Kaufman. Pastor Dale will be appointed as lead pastor at our June 2026 Leadership Summit.

About Dale: Dale Kaufman is an ordained elder and is currently serving as the pastor of the Colville FM Church in Colville, Washington. He and his wife Pam have been married for 33 years and have two sons, both of whom are serving the Lord in ministry. Dale has pastored in several FM Conferences in his career, including in Colorado, Oregon, Michigan, and Wisconsin. He has a passion and zeal for preaching the Gospel, and especially for reaching the next generations through discipling and setting them free to do ministry. His three great loves are Jesus, his wife and kids (and now grandson), and Dr. Pepper!

Pastor Dale says this about his return to River Church: "Having served at what is now the River Church over 30 years ago as their youth pastor, I am excited to be 'coming home' and to have the opportunity to use the gifts and ministry skills that I have gained in that time to help revitalize and reinvigorate the church. I am passionate about helping to chart a new course of ministry that will bless the community of Lakewood and contribute to the building of God's Kingdom through the River Church. We will 'strain toward what is ahead,' as Paul says in Philippians 3, to bring the light and life of Jesus into the hearts of all that we can!"

Blessings to Pastor Dale and Pam and the community of Lakewood's River Church in this new season of ministry together. Please also pray with us for the next leader of Colville FMC and their transition as a congregation.
