PASTORS

We have served as lead pastors of River of Life since 1984 and have served as ordained ministers with the Pentecostal Church of God for more than 50 years, serving in pastoral roles in the US and as missionaries to Mexico and Guatemala. We desire to see individuals come to know Christ as their Savior and grow into mature followers. We believe that is accomplished through anointed worship, being discipled by God’s Word, and through recovery ministries. We were married in 1961 and have been blessed with two sons, two beautiful daughters-in-love, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

As Associate Pastors, our ministry is to assist the Lead Pastors in leading the church. We do this by addressing the needs of every ministry as they arise. We are also expected to be ready, in and out of season, to perform the duties of the Lead Pastors in their absence or at their request. Our call is for the church, the community and our congregation. We, Pastors Duane and Joyce, are both credentialed ministers with the Assemblies of God. Although we held secular jobs before retiring, we have been ministers since 1986 and associate pastors since 1998. We were married in 1971, have three children and seven grandchildren.

We are available by phone, text or email: (928) 965-5054, duanehoward1113@gmail.com

I have attended River of Life since 2004 and began working in the office in 2006. I was ordained with my Certificate of Ministry from River of Life PCG in November 2019. I consider my ministry as managing the daily operations of the church so the Lead and Associate Pastors can focus on the pastoral demands. I am also the director of the Soul Care/Recovery Ministry and love providing support and encouragement thru lay counseling and small groups. I have four wonderful daughters and three cherished grandchildren.
