Senior Leadership at Life Church

Mark Boer has been teaching the Word of God in full-time ministry since 1989. In 2001 he founded Life Church – a dynamic, growing church in Boise, Idaho, which he continues to pastor. His ministry is one of compassion and power. He teaches the Word of God with conviction and humor, believing that God is ever-willing to meet the needs of all who call upon Him in faith. His emphasis is bringing the Life of God to the lives of people. This life shows up not only in salvation, but also in healing, peace, prosperity, and wisdom.

Mark is a graduate of Rhema Bible Training Center and resides in the Boise area with his wife Amy and children; Whitley, Wesley and Windelyn.

Mickey McCaleb is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and a 1989 graduate of Rhema Bible Training Center.  In 1992 he was ordained as a minister and has since served as a youth pastor, an associate pastor, a lead pastor, and a music minister.  He believes authentic ministry takes place wherever people are provided an opportunity to serve according to their gifts and meet ministry needs for which they are equipped.

Mickey holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Organizational Management with an emphasis in Christian Leadership from Colorado Christian University and a Masters of Arts in Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy at Colorado School of Professional Psychology.  Mickey and his wife, Kristie, have been married for 14 years and are the parents of two daughters – Aubrey and Kaylee.

PJ Hoeper realized his call to the ministry while traveling with the Strength Team in 2008. He believes there is nothing better than seeing and being a part of lives changed for eternity. This past summer he was able to attend Life Church Kids Kamp where he saw a glimpse of the Power of God in kids, increasing his passion to save the lost, equip believers and make disciples of Jesus. He is excited to lead the youth of Life Church into a deeper relationship with Jesus and taking over the Treasure Valley for Christ.

PJ is a graduate from the University of Nevada, Reno and will soon be a graduate of the Life Church School of Ministry.

PJ and his wife, Kelly have been married for 5 years and are expecting their first ‘little man of God’ in September.

John Conder was first stirred to minister to children in 2000 when he visited a Royal Ranger club meeting and watched a 5 year old boy commit his life to Jesus.  While actively teaching children over the years, his desire to reach them has only intensified.  John is a graduate of Life Church School of Ministry in addition to his two years of previous Bible School training.   John believes the children of Life Church will not only be filled with the Word and experience His presence but they will also take the gospel outside the church and reach the lost.John resides in Boise with his wife Heather, and their four children, Zachary, Roman, Benjamin and Victoria.

Louise Brady has served in the Helps Ministry for over 25 years.

She loves sweets but doesn’t eat them any more. She does reside with her sweet husband, Bob, who she has been married to for 34 years.
