District Superintendent
Rev. Neil and Lin Koppen
The Koppens came to Western New York from the Iowa-Minnesota District in August of 2000 and have adapted well to their leadership role among the churches. An ordained minister in the Wesleyan Church since 1987, Neil has small, medium and large church experience. He deeply desires "to be a useful asset, resource, and help to pastors/churches and a constant and aggressive catalyst for Great Commission activity." Lin works as his administrative secretary. The couple has been married 27 years and have two daughters, Brittany and Jenna. In his spare time, he enjoys woodworking and playing the guitar.
