Don Solin

I grew up in the western suburbs of Chicago.   I grew up in a “Christian” home and was raised in a Baptist church.  It was during my younger years that I was taught much about God, the Bible and all the “do’s” and “don’ts” of the day.  Although I didn’t understand everything, I knew that I wanted to have a relationship with God.

Today, in the little over twenty years since marrying Marcie, having two awesome boys, serving in three churches as youth pastor, one as the senior pastor, I am at my “halftime”. 

I am more passionate about reaching people, more passionate about equipping the local church for ministry living, and more desirous of what and how God will use me and my family for and in His Kingdom. 

My time as a senior pastor has helped in a significant way to see the local church as the vehicle, the tool in which God is using to reach a lost culture.  My faith in this time has had its bruising and enriching.  I believe that after these past 20 years of ministry the best is yet to come.  My desire is to make the next 25-35 years of serving and ministering even more significant!
