“We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, in order that He might be the firstborn within a large family.”– Romans 8:28-29

In his letter to the church of Rome, St. Paul, in referring to church of Jesus Christ, uses the metaphor “family” which is very apt. Human beings are products of earthly families. No individual exists in a vacuum, but within the context of a human family. So it is with the family of God. The health of our individual walk with Christ is directly tied to our communal walk with Him. In these next pages, you will see how our church family is engaged in many areas of ministry. I thank the Lord for all the men and women, young people and children who “work together”, as Paul says, to make our church family a living and vibrant community of faith. We are promised that as we serve our Lord, we will be more conformed to His very image. This brochure describes the work of the ministry teams within our church. Please study it and prayerfully consider what Christ is calling you to do in our family.

May Christ’s peace be with you,

Rev. Glenn Baaten
