Richard Thien – Maple Grove Covenant Church

  • Pastor Rich is an unapologetic Bible leading, word of God leader. He leads the sheep on the straight and narrow in a wonderfully compassionate way. His loyalty and love for Christ shines through in all that he does. He is always ready and available to help others in need, going above and beyond to make sure you feel cherished, thought of, and heard. Rich could retire but has a passion and true calling to lead God’s people to Christ and see the church blossom. His wife has fought cancer, yet their faith and passion never waivers. Cheryl, his wife, is a board member on the covenant ministries board and helps churches daily as a mentor and leader. Together they are a leader team that will fight the good fight for the Lord until the end. They’re wisdom, passion, and kindness draws people to the word of God. I couldn’t ask for a better leader to help my growth and to help shape the coming generations of Godly warriors and believers.
  • A servant heart. A heart to teach the Word of God. A godly man who has blessed our church. Pastor Rich and our church has been very supportive to our family when my husband was ill the last 2 years and now to me as a widow. They gave me strength to keep moving forward. I am thankful and blessed.
