Our Board Members

Travis Conklin

Board Member

Travis grew up in the mountains of Montana. He has been serving in ministry since his youth, and spent most of the first decade of his marriage with his wife Jennica helping church plants. It was through helping other pastors with church planting that they discerned their calling to plant a church in Goshen Indiana, in 2014. Travis enjoys life with his wife and three children: Ezekiel, Elliet and Judah. Travis is a natural-born entrepreneur and often dreams up business ideas he’ll never use, just for the fun of it. In his free time, he prefers any activity that gets him outside and into the woods. He is passionate about helping people connect to God and each other through intentional relationships.
