Our vision for Compassion Church is to make Jesus visible in our communities by

showing compassion to those in need. While we currently have one location in Anoka,

we dream about more church and coffeehouse locations to advance God’s Kingdom

throughout the Twin Cities.

As we prepare for multiplication, we’re also aligning the structure of staff. Rob Bergfalk

currently serves as the Lead Pastor and shepherds the Anoka congregation. By the

summer of 2026, we plan to identify and commission a Community Pastor in Anoka. The

Community Pastor will serve as the primary preacher, shepherd the flock, and engage in

the community. The addition of the Community Pastor allows the Lead Pastor role to

become a “pastor of pastors”, focusing on the vision, leadership development, and the

long-term goal of planting more churches.

We are excited about this structure, as the Community Pastor will be devoted to seeing

the church and coffeehouse location in their community thrive, while also allowing the

growing network of Compassion Church locations to be connected by a shared vision

and mission. The Community Pastor will partner closely with Rob by participating in

shared sermon series, leadership development rhythms, and church multiplication

planning.
