 Bruce Kochsmeier Senior Pastor | | Hi, I’ve been the senior pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Carson City since 1995. I love the ministry God has given me here. I’m passionate about telling people about God’s amazing grace for us in Jesus Christ. And I love that I get to do this in so many ways. Of course there is preaching and leading worship on Sundays. Getting to open God’s word with people is a privilege for me – whether it is in worship or weekly Bible studies, or in the small groups of which I am a part or counseling sessions, or conversations at the grocery store or motorcycle shop… Oh yes, I love to ride motorcycles and mountain bikes. Carson City is such a great home. I love to hike in our beautiful Nevada hills with my three dogs or go for a bike ride with my wife Nancy or for a trail bike ride with our daughter Kate. Ministry for me is about connecting people with the saving and discipling grace of Jesus Christ, so I am very open to the spontaneous ways God brings this about. My study is the first door you’ll see when you step into our wonderful Victorian office building. I hope YOU will stop in for a cup of coffee and some conversation any time you are in the area. I look forward to meeting you. |
As for my background, before I graduated
