About Pastor Jamie

I'm a dad, husband, friend and pastor. The order gets flipped around by the demands and opportunities of the day, but the one that stands over all in my life is the Lordship of Jesus Christ. I trust in His Spirit daily to help me sort the different shoes that I wear and while some use huge amounts of time, others have my life.

This is the third place in which I have had the privilege of being called "Pastor" since I began this work over twenty years ago. I stood on the banks of the Minnesota River in the town of LeSueur for almost eight years with those good folks. Then we moved to the flatlands of central Illinois to the town of Streator and shared in the life and work of God's faithful there for thirteen years. We moved here amidst the snow storms of January, 2007. We stand now in wonder at the prairie vistas that surround us and the lives of the good folks that come here to worship, grow and reach together.

Other than the same tools that the church has used for generations, scripture and Spirit, I walk in here with no master plan or billion dollar answer. I am a pastor; I lead worship, share in the mission, education and outreach of the church. Most of all I get up every day to see that red sky in the east and say thanks for another opportunity to suck in good air and serve a great God through all that we can do and be together.
