Conversation with Don Proctor
Episode 99
Tuesday, 1 July, 2025
What if the key to transforming a city isn't building bigger churches, but bringing existing ones together? Don Proctor has spent nearly two decades proving this principle as the Director of City Pastors Fellowship in Sacramento—arguably the strongest citywide pastoral network in America.The story begins with a 20-year-old electrician taking a weekend job at an auto parts store. The owner's authentic faith—evident in how he treated customers, his family, and employees—made such an impression that it led Don to Christ. That experience of seeing genuine Christianity lived out would later shape Don's entire approach to ministry.After marrying a pastor's daughter and unexpectedly stepping into ministry leadership (despite never having preached before!), Don eventually found his true calling: creating spaces where pastors across denominational lines could encourage each other without agendas or competition.Send us a textWe want to help you find your next steps in ministry.Connect here with EXCEL.
