Don Gustafson

Don Gustafson serves as an Elder at Real Church Communities. His faith journey took on new meaning when he came to fully understand and accept the redemptive love of Jesus Christ, a transformation that continues to shape how he serves others today.

Don is retired after a successful career in a variety of sales roles, including consulting services and specialty computer sales. His professional background, combined with a heart for service, allows him to build strong relationships both within and beyond the church.
