Pastor Duane Vander Klok has a passion to see people everywhere come to a relationship
with Jesus Christ and to help believers grow in their love and dedication to
the Lord. He appeals to people of all ages and backgrounds with his great sense
of humor and warm, easy-going style of ministry.
A graduate of Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas, Texas, Pastor Vander Klok is a missions-minded man. He and his wife, Jean, ministered for several years in Mexico, teaching in a Bible school and establishing many churches. Responding to God's call, they returned to the United States and began pastoring ResLife in 1984. Under their dynamic leadership, the church has enjoyed steady growth, with over 7000 currently in attendance at weekly services.
Pastor Vander Klok is also the founding president of Resurrection Life Church International, an affiliation of like-minded local churches and ministries. This affiliation of independently governed churches is growing quickly.
The Vander Klok's have been married for over 25 years. Their family includes
sons, Joshua & wife Nancy (with Grandson Gabe), Samuel and Daniel and
one daughter Stephanie. Their desire as a family is that God's best would
always be yours!
