Do you need a guest speaker?



"Rick Duncan has a heart for both the local church and making an impact for God's Kingdom. He works hard to connect these things together in his teachings and there is always a genuine impact on the individuals who have an opportunity to learn from him. Every time Rick has taught at our church he is happy to work with our team to accomplish what God has laid on our hearts and makes real connections that impact people's everyday lives." Andy Sikora, Lead Pastor, Renew Communities

I was so humbled to receive these words from my friend, Andy. I had asked him to share some of his thoughts about my teaching. 

Since I have passed the baton of Lead Pastor to Chad Allen at CVC, I still teach about once every 4-6 weeks at CVC and I have staff responsibilities on other weekends. But that means that I am free on certain weekends to fill in whenever and wherever I am needed.

So, I asked Andy and a few other leaders to share some of their thoughts about my ministry in hopes that churches in need might call on me to help on those weekends when I am free from responsibilities at CVC. 

As I have been thinking and planning my schedule for the rest of the year, I know that some churches are without a current lead pastor. Other pastors might want someone to fill the pulpit while they are away on vacation or at a seminar. At times, a church might want a seminar speaker for a special topic. 

Know that it would be an honor for me to serve in a teaching capacity at your church if you find yourself in need. This is one simple way that CVC and I can serve the larger body of Christ. 

Simply send an email to our CVC Missions Assistant, Elena Golsch, at egolsch@cvconline.org. 

Perhaps God will give us the opportunity to serve you.

“We were very blessed to have Pastor Rick with us to speak on a Sunday morning as he helped us engage the Word of God. He didn’t just preach a sermon as a guest speaker, but he listened to what God had for him to say to us and he pastored our church even for the 35 minutes we got to spend with him." David Erlandson, Worship Pastor, Trinity Baptist Church

"We have been abundantly blessed by Rick's teaching here in an urban context, Slavic Village, Ohio. He has an innate ability to bring Biblical Truth into the context of everyday life in a way that is relatable to people from all walks of life." Jeff Bodziony, Lead Pastor, Forward Church
