Pastor Bruce Guckelberg and his wife Carol began their ministry at Parkside Bible Church in July of 2002. Originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Bruce came to know the Lord in 1981 and gave up his career as a Martial Arts instructor when he felt the call of God to go into full-time ministry. He has served in pastoral ministry in Milwaukee, Chicago, Sacramento and San Jose before coming to Watertown. Bruce earned his PhD in theology from Trinity Theological Seminary. He taught college level courses at California Christian College and has a passion for preaching God's Word. Bruce and Carol have come to Parkside Bible Church with a heart-felt desire to reach out to the community and impact the world through short-term mission projects.
