our story

The Kruckenbergs: Brian, Gina, Faith (9), Elijah (7) and Bella (4)

I am a kansas kid with a love for the city…always was fascinated with tall buildings and crowded streets. Even though I was raised in the heartland I didn’t find myself in church very often, but early in life I sensed that God was calling me into a relationship with Him. I had no idea what that really meant but I do remember sitting in a couple of church services where I had to “white-knuckle” the seat, afraid that I might jump through the roof when the pastor asked if anyone wanted to “come to know Jesus personally.” Since those church visits were infrequent, my knuckles survived, but God kept calling. Ultimately, I was baptized as an 18 year-old but went to college with no foundation or Christian relationships so I led the college life, books and beer.  Still, underneath an exterior that appeared far from Jesus, was a guy who knew that he desperately needed to be transformed.

Gina and I were married in 1999 and both had been seeking God on our own and it only made sense that we we continue the journey together. Just a few months after we were married, we attended this little church in Lawrence, Kansas. It was in a small, dingy gymnasium that I finally gave in to God’s pursuit and Gina and I began our journey that has led us to this point. Three children (Faith-8, Elijah-6, Isabella-3), a big change of careers (I was a corporate lawyer before leaving that in 2004), a big move to Phoenix (2005), and “another” degree later (d.min. in 2009) here we are pursuing a vision to reach the people with the transformational message of the Gospel of Jesus in the city. We hope that God might join your story with ours in Phoenix.
