Pastor Angie Goetz is the wife to her best friend Cory, mom to three amazing kids and two daughters-in-laws, a speaker, and the director of Bridging the Gap (BTG) women’s ministry whose purpose is to encourage, equip and empower every woman in her faith journey with Jesus Christ.

Angie is passionate about creating a multigenerational community where all women can thrive in the potential that God has for them. She desires women to live fearlessly and boldly in their faith, knowing that we serve the God of the impossible. World missions captured Angie’s heart long ago, and if there is one thing that keeps her up at night, it’s thinking about the women here and all across the world that still don’t know Jesus.

Angie loves being surrounded by hundreds or thousands of women together worshipping God, or sitting at a coffee shop with a few talking about what God is personally doing in their lives. And although she’s a Minnesota girl desperate to decorate for Christmas at the first sign of snow, some of her favorite moments are sitting on a boat in the water, soaking in the sun, with a ice cold diet coke in her hand.
