Jeff Rasanen has been in ministry a number of years with a wide range of experience. He and his wife Monna have been married for 36 years, raised three children, and have been serving the Lord since they were young teens. Jeff has been a senior pastor for 16 years, administrated a Christian School for seven years, taught and coached at the high school level four years and served as Family Life Pastor for three years.

The Lord has equipped Jeff for ministry in many ways. He has a B.S. Degree in Industrial Education and a coaching certificate from the University of Minnesota and he has also earned a Master of Divinity Degree from the Assemblies of God Seminary in Springfield, MO. In addition, Jeff has also done post-graduate studies at Bethel Seminary in Minneapolis, MN.

Jeff has recently returned to Elk Run Heights to be the pastor of Faith Assembly. He is very familiar with Faith since he had previously been their pastor for 14 years. After resigning the church in 2006 he and his wife Monna moved to Bella Vista, AR for four years. God used that time to provide healing and comfort to them after the death of their oldest son David and his wife Sandi. Since God has opened the door for Jeff to return, he comes with a renewed spirit and vision to “by all means save some”. He is enthusiastic about the future of Faith Assembly and is determined to give God an opportunity to be God. If you are interested in living a life of faith, join us at Faith Assembly of God.
