  • Kristin Aull: Pastor and Church Planter with EFC-ER
    Aug 22 2025

    On this episode, we interviewed Kristin Aull, Lead Pastor of Pursuit Friends Network of House Churches in Canton, OH. We discussed leadership development, opening doors for people to step into new roles, and how our limitations are just another way that God works through us.

    At Pursuit, Kristin helps people build faith communities that journey together with God. She also facilitates a Women’s Planting Cohort—a reflective space for women discerning leadership and formation. She holds an engineering degree from Purdue University and is pursuing a Master’s in Leadership from Denver Seminary. She finds joy in all things water and shares life with her husband Joe, their grown children Jay and Haley, and her wonderful son-in-law Steven.
