Key Details
🎤 Speaker: Krista Penner
Krista is a popular speaker to a variety of groups who currently serves Fellowship Pacific churches in Next Gen Leader Development, Special Projects and through management of Immerse, the in-church contextualized theologically grounded leadership education program offering a Master of Arts in Biblical Leadership and a Master of Divinity through Northwest Seminary.
She loves to mentor, equip, and encourage continued significant gospel impact through local church ministry in the communities they serve across Canada.
Krista lives in Mission, BC with her husband, Jerome and they attend Ridge Church in Maple Ridge BC.
Often you will find Krista in her kitchen making a meal to share with friends. Krista used to tell people about her three adult children, her three amazing children-in-law, and her cute little dog, Mona…but this all changed on July 26, 2023, when her first grand-baby entered the world. Now everything is about Michael…and currently, there are 2 more grandchildren slated to arrive in 2025!
