Are you searching for worship services and sermons with substance? Are you wanting to hear God’s Truth from the Bible? Are you longing to find some Good News that brings hope?
Look through our Services and Sermons Archive, and discover preaching from our pastor, Rev. Gregory Mech as the Good News is boldly proclaimed from God’s Holy Word. Hear about God’s Law, that guides our lives and shows us how we all fall short. Listen to the Gospel, which shows us how our God has brought us forgiveness, life, and hope through His Son Jesus Christ. Who is Jesus?
