Guy Bergstrom is a 1986 Alumnus of Montana Wilderness School of the Bible. Following his year at school he began volunteering in youth ministry at his home church, Buffalo Covenant Church, and did so for the next 20 years before he was asked to come on staff, where he served as the Associate Youth Director for 16 more years. He also helped start & was the Vice-President of Walk On Water ministry which used water sports to connect with students & teach them about Jesus, Waterskiing & Wakeboarding. Guy has always been single, (as he says, kind of like Jesus & Paul), and though that was not his plan originally, he took 1 Corinthians 7 to heart and invested his time serving the Lord through youth ministry & discipling. He spent most evenings either stepping into students’ lives & connecting with them at ball games, choir concerts & activities, or inviting them into his to spend time at his house on the lake, skiing, grilling, working out & teaching them to love the Lord and His Word.

Though he retired from church ministry, Guy is now self-employed and is still is involved in lay ministry, discipling, speaking at FCA, youth events, retreats and more.  Guy’s parents, siblings & their families still live around his hometown & all attend the same church. He enjoys spending time with Jesus, family & friends, waterskiing, lake days, snow skiing, hunting, fishing and many other sports & outdoor activities in God’s great creation.
