Tony Konvalin is pastor/elder of Sovereign Grace Christian Fellowship (SGCF) in Anaheim, CA and also works as a project engineer in the aerospace industry in the area of high-temperature composites. He graduated from Excelsior College and has an M. Div from Golden Gate Theological Seminary, both of which were received later in life. He did not grow up in a Christian home and was called to God in his late 20’s. He is married to Donna and has 3 children, all of which have been homeschooled throughout their education. Tony has had a passion for church ministry which, ironically, included youth ministry for a time early on. This passion and searching for what God’s church was to look like eventually led to the start of SGCF

Church Planting Part 1 - Its Purpose
Dec. 9, 2010
Why are we to plant churches?  Is it to make worship comfortable? Is it to show the world we have it right?  Is it simply to be able to rally the troops and be among others that have similar interests?  How one views the purpose behind planting a church will not only greatly affect one’s efforts, it will greatly affect whether the church is one that magnifies Christ, its head, or glorifies man.  We need to clearly understand the purpose of the church, His bride, if we are to start churches that glorify Christ.
