Roland became the pastor of MVCC in 1982 and is excited to be part of God’s amazing activity which has led the church to its location on Seattle Hill Road and to its many present ministries which impact not only this community, but places as distant as Peru and Cambodia.

Rev. Classen is committed to Biblical preaching and to leading a congregation that is faithful to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, informed by its heritage, and yet is relevant to the present generation.

  He and his wife Dottie have three married daughters and eleven grandchildren.  He is a graduate of Simpson University and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.
