Pastor Catalin Dima came to know the Lord as a teenager in Communist Romania. He worked as a youth leader there and also helped to plant a number of churches in the villages around the Romanian capital of Bucharest. He immigrated to the United States and married the love of his life, Kelly, in 2004.


Pastor Kelly Dima grew up in Minnesota and is a graduate of Bethel College and Seminary. Combined together, Catalin and Kelly have over 50 years of ministry experience. From a very young age they both have felt a call to help people discover that living for God is the way to live a meaningful life.


Catalin and Kelly live in the Hanover, Minnesota, with their sons Alec, Manny, and Benjamin.
