He practically grew up on the campgrounds in Anderson, Indiana. When he was born, his father, John Aukerman, was a senior pastor. But when David was four, his father began teaching at the School of Theology and David would spend much of the year using the campus as a playground. Just a few years ago, he completed his seminary education with a master of divinity from Anderson University School of Theology. Aukerman now serves as the pastor of Mt. Haley Church of God, near Midland, Michigan. On Monday, Aukerman will preach in the morning service at 10:30 in Park Place Church of God. He’s no stranger to NAC. “I was in Kid’s Place as a child, I volunteered to help In the spirit of the Great Commission and the Great Commandments, the Transformation Teams of the Church of God will offer conferences during NAC designed to equip the church to transform culture. These teams have gone beyond encouraging the church to emphasize evangelism and loving God and neighbor—they have produced tools that will empower the church to carry out these practices. On Monday, June 25, you will have the opportunity to learn about these tools. From 8:30 to 10:00 am, join Jonathan Absher, senior pastor at Meadowbrook First Church of God in Bethalto, Illinois, for a practical discussion on discipleship for new believers.

Any attempt to connect—or to find our identity—without an awareness of the Spirit who unites us, is destined to fail. In this sense, the Holy Spirit is much more than merely a Comforter!” David Aukerman will also lead a conference in Decker 231 during NAC on Monday, June 25, titled “Difficult Texts of the Bible.” All are welcome to attend—no preregistration necessary.
