About Pastor BBopp

I am the Children’s Pastor at Des Moines First Assembly and lead our children’s service, True North. I received my degree in Pastoral Studies and Behavioral Sciences from North Central Bible College. My wife, Kathy, and I have four children: Justin, Katrina, Aaron and Tucker - our family dog. My passions include using the talents God placed in me to lead children toward a more intimate knowledge of their Creator and our Lord Jesus.

I like sailing, biking, and “adventuring” with my family. I dislike weak coffee.
