I am Todd Ertsgaard and I have served as Lead Pastor here since the fall of 2019. I have the privilege of regularly sharing God’s truth, overseeing and shepherding the staff, ministries and church family that make up Bemidji Covenant. What excites me the most about serving in this position is being part of a church that helps others connect and grow in their faith and relationship with Jesus Christ. I am convinced that Jesus has risen from the grave and has the power to change lives. My wife, Melissa, and I have three grown children - Chris and his wife Becca, Andrew and Danielle. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, sports, hiking, biking, watching movies and playing games. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Science from Northwestern College in Roseville, MN. and a Master of Divinity degree from Bethel Theological Seminary in Arden Hills, MN. I have also done extended studies at North Park University in Chicago, IL.
