  • Rev. John Bogle has been discipling and loving on students since he was one himself in high school. He attended high school in Anoka, MN where he was a passionate leader of a disciple-making movement with CRU; he attended university at Minnesota State University--Mankato where he was a student leader in CRU and interned at a local church--there he honed his skills as a teacher; and, he is a graduate of Trinity International University [aka TEDS] in Chicagoland where he first learned the importance of discipling pastors. He has served the Kingdom as a pastor and a teacher for well over three decades and counts it a privilege to plant disciple-makers wherever he goes. He is a husband to Cindy and a father of teens JT and Hannah. He is the Executive Director of Building Disciples and the pastor of Building Disciples Fellowship in Minnetonka, MN where he gets out of bed and reports for duty every day.

    Mrs. Cindy Bogle has been loving on her husband and discipling women (especially young adults, young moms, and pastor’s wives) since she met and married John. She was born and raised in Connecticut. She attended art school at Columbus College of Art and Design where she deepened in her walk with Christ as a part of the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship. She is passionate about God’s heart and about enjoying God by enjoying His creation. She is an encourager and designs cards that allow others to use her art to encourage those around them. She counts it a privilege to pray with and for women and disciples women one-on-one.

    An Arizona transplant, Matt came to Minnesota in high school and met John Bogle very soon after he moved here. Matt was active in CRU High School (the group that eventually became Building Disciples Crew). While attending college at Minnesota State Moorhead, he was active in CRU on campus and was on staff with CRU after college. He has a degree in Psychology which he put to use while he worked at MN Adult & Teen Challenge, investing in men dealing with addictions. He became a volunteer with Building Disciples in 2017 and eventually came on staff in 2021. Matt met his wife Elisha while doing ministry in Minneapolis. Matt works full-time at Minnetonka Middle School West where he also facilitates the student Bible study. We partner with FCA at Minnetonka High School where Matt’s dad Matt Moran Sr. is the leader and is a well respected teacher in the Social Studies department.
