surrounding area, together to experience a conference that would both inspire
them and draw them closer to Jesus. For the past 15 years Sparkle Conference
has been the fulfillment of that dream. In addition to founding Sparkle
Conference, Pastor Becca leads River Valley Church alongside her husband,
Rob Ketterling. They enjoy spending time with their family, sons Connor and
Logan, daughters-in-law Alexia and Mikayla, and their grandkids Beckham and Anastasia, children of Connor and Alexia.
