LANCE BURKHOLDER

Lance grew up in the Bay Area of California, where his parents faithfully worked and served on staff at Calvary Baptist Church. Following in their footsteps, Lance later had the opportunity to serve on staff at the same church—an experience that helped shape his heart for ministry. He is a graduate of Heartland Baptist Bible College, where he majored in Secondary Education. While preparing for the classroom, God clearly redirected his path and placed a calling on his heart to pastor and disciple teens. Lance now serves as the Associate and Youth Pastor of Harvest Baptist Temple in Medford, Oregon. Serving alongside him are his wife, Josefine, and their three sons—two of whom are currently attending Bible college, with the third planning to follow this fall.
