Send us Fan MailWife. Mother. Husband. Brother. Aunt. Pastor. Doctor. These are all labels that speak to our identity— to who we are. However, when we become Christians, that is, believers and followers of Jesus Christ, we take on a completely new identity—one that supersedes all others. As Christians, part of the call is to live as missionaries for Jesus at all times and in all places. What does this mean, and does it change how we show up? If not, should it? Listen and worship along as Pastor Chad begins a five-part series titled "This is Who We Are" with his first message "A Chosen People."

Send us Fan MailWhen Jesus invited His disciples to join Him for the Last Supper before His crucifixion, He invited them as they were. Perfection was not expected. "Take this bread, drink this juice; do this in remembrance of Me" was Jesus' grace-filled invitation to take part in all that He offers, up to and including His life, which was sacrificed on their behalf—and ours—just hours later. When we participate in the Ordinance of Communion, we do so as unfinished works in progress, asking for the once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus to cover us, complete us, and restore us to Himself.

Send us Fan MailAs Adventists, we spend a lot of time thinking about Jesus' future return, and rightly so. But in the New Testament Book of Matthew, we find Jesus himself spending a lot of time focused on the present value of living out our faith. Listen in as Pastor Chad begins a four-part series titled "Until He Comes." In it, he'll unpack Matthew 24 and 25 in a way that shines a light on the life that Jesus is preparing His people for, both in this age and the next.  DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BIBLE?If you're searching for a warm, welcoming place to grow your faith, Spencerville is the church for you!

Send us Fan MailWhy do we exist? No, really? Why are we here in this location, at this particular moment in time? Do we believe it to be divinely appointed? Or is it just a coincidence? When we opened our new school building in 2011, it was the capstone of more than 15 years of planning and preparation. Was it easy? No. Did it involve a lot of prayer and sacrifice? Yes.

What does His example teach us about balancing the pressures of everyday life with the call to show compassion to those around us?

Send us Fan Mail**Our apologies, the audio cut out, and we missed the first 15 seconds of the sermon. It's a fantastic message, so we decided to share it anyway.You may have heard it said that, as Christians, we're called to live in a way that is "in the world" but not "of the world." Pitching our tents in places in or near "the world" is part of the call, but can also be dangerous and challenging. And yet, the Bible is full of stories of people who faithfully lived amidst people groups who were unfaithful, along with stories about people who tried to do so but were lured away. What makes the difference? How can we keep our eyes and hearts fixed on the Way of Righteousness, instead of the path of darkness?

Send us Fan MailJuly 4, 2026, marks the 250th anniversary of the Great American experiment. As we consider why and how it began, it’s worth also taking a look at what the Bible says about how it will end. Not to focus on the end itself, but to ask ourselves how we, as residents of this kingdom, can live first and foremost as citizens of a higher one. Does the United States enjoy freedoms that are divinely ordained and set apart? If so, for what purpose?

Send us Fan MailOne of the key attributes of any relationship is a respectful, open, and honest dialogue. It's no different when we talk with God. This week, Pastor Kandace Zollman examines the life of Moses, someone who had very direct and sometimes confrontational conversations with God on a variety of topics. As we think about our posture before God and how we address Him, we'll have an opportunity to ask ourselves whether talking back is disrespectful or part of a healthy relationship.  DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BIBLE?If you're searching for a warm, welcoming place to grow your faith, Spencerville is the church for you!

Send us Fan MailIf we’re honest with ourselves as we look around at the state of the world, it doesn’t take an observant person to see that there is much brokenness. If we continue that honesty and assess our own hearts, perhaps we can admit that there is brokenness in us, too. How do we reconcile that perception of brokenness with the idea that we’re not only made by God in His image, but that we’re completely loved by Him as well? If you’ve ever struggled with self-worth, self-doubt, or the weight of past sin that you just can’t seem to shake, this message is for you!

Send us Fan MailThe example of Jesus, recorded in Luke 22:19, asks His disciples to participate in the Lord's Supper as they remember Him. When Jesus said those words, He was fully aware of what awaited Him. He knew that death was the price He would pay.

Send us Fan MailBack in 2022, Pastor Chad preached a series on stewardship, aiming to upend the notion that stewardship was only about money. In the third part of that series, he made the point that stewardship applies to every area of our lives, as it involves managing the gifts God sees fit to bestow upon us.In this message, titled "Living Holy, Living Wholly," Pastor Chad continues to pull this thread as he confronts the management of our personal health as a matter of stewardship that has lasting effects on every other area of our lives. Listen in as we explore how stewardship impacts human flourishing and how we can lean into practices that help us become the best versions of ourselves—the versions God created us to be!

Send us Fan MailThis weekend marks thirty years since Pastor Chad became a follower of Jesus. Following Jesus has always come with a price—and that price is rising. In our culture, following Jesus means living by a value system the world finds irreconcilable with its own. That friction is not hit-or-miss. It will hit all true followers of Jesus.
