Pray Fervently For Your Country and It’s Leaders!
Yesterday we celebrated a birthday! You may have cooked out, went to a parade, saw fireworks, listened to a band,… Did you pray? The leaders of this great nation need our prayers on a daily basis. They make the decisions to help our country flourish. We may not always agree with them, but they were chosen for this job, and we as Christians want to respect who God placed in our lives to lead this country. Pastor Gaertner urges us…
It’s a Matter of the Heart
Who are you living for? Even though it’s Mother’s Day (Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms reading this!), it shouldn’t be your mom or any other family member, or even yourself. It should be the One who lived for you, and died for you, and rose for you, too! In today’s worship, Pastor Gaertner reminds us how our risen Savior calls us to live for Him! Join us at 9:30am to start your Mother’s Day off right! See you…

Join us as Pastor Gaertner takes us on a journey-Saul’s…
The Great Light
What is the first thing you do when you walk in a room? No, it’s not forget why you entered the room in the first place! Most people turn the light on because they need light to see. In the same way, we walk through life in the darkness of sin. We need something to light our way! Join us to hear Pastor Gaertner tell us exactly what The Great Light is and where it will lead us!
Hope in the Face of Judgment
It’s time to prepare! Last week, Pastor Laitinen started us off with his YouTube message for the first Sunday in Advent. This week, Pastor Gaertner continues the preparation by talking with us about another coming…Jesus’ second coming – Judgment Day. Having our hearts ready for the final judgment will also help us get our hearts ready to again celebrate Jesus’ first coming at Christmas. Come, Lord Jesus! See you soon!
