Pastor Joe Braucht

For over 40 years, Joe and Vicki have been a cornerstone of ministry leadership, grounded in a 43-year marriage and Joe’s service as an Ordained Bishop in the Church of God. After establishing Destiny Christian Center and serving the Apple Valley and Owatonna campuses for four decades, they launched a new mission in 2022: caring for the weary. From their sanctuary in the Catalina Foothills of Arizona, they founded The Resting Place, providing full-time ministry leaders the sabbatical rest and renewed vision needed to finish their race strong. While they now reside in Arizona, they remain deeply connected to their two children and seven grandchildrenin Minnesota, honored to provide a sacred season of restoration for those who serve others.
