When my husband died of Covid, we never got to say good-bye. Four boys in their 30’s without their loving, Godly dad. Pastor was my “Rock”. Can’t explain how much he stepped in a spot in my life that was more than a person to lean on in my grief.   It’s been 2 years, and his attentiveness to me is still there. ❤️

Thank you for all you do Steve! I’m so thankful for you! You are an awesome youth pastor! You help me grow closer to Christ and understand Christ.

“Thank you for all you do for our church, community & around the world!  I have learned so much from you and our church family.  I pray for you and your family.”

“Pastor Brian,  The appreciation that I have for you filling the role as shepherd of Our Saviour’s cannot be adequately expressed.  Your Spirit filled messages always provide just the right words that someone needs to hear. I’m thankful that often that someone is me and that God opens my ears & my heart to heart His message through you.   You lead by example, being a servant in so many ways, so many times, and in so many locations.  May we answer the call to serve God by following your example. May your heart be lifted knowing that three other congregations also see your value as God’s servant, by the call they presented to you.  I continue to offer prayers of thanks that after prayerful consideration you chose to remain at Our Saviour’s to continue God’s calling for you here.   Along with your many duties, I thank you, too, for visiting our home and ministering to us as Don’s health prohibits church attendance for me.  May the seeds that are planted, watered, & nurtured bloom in his heart and may he have God’s peace.  Thank you!”

Thank you for sharing relatable lessons through your five kids, wife and a dog stories. Whether it’s rapping, a sports event, or Chick-fil-A, the down to earth message has something for everyone.  This helps to spread the Word of God and makes you and our church approachable and personal. We appreciate you and your growth.

We at Word of Peace are truly blessed to have three wonderful pastors, but our head pastor is Pastor Rick Skare. I would like to extend a very special thank you to Pastor Rick for being a true disciple of God. You have been there for our family long before I was a member. My family is truly blessed to be at Word of Peace 🙏

Thanks for all you do for Austin & the area communities! From amazing and inspiring messages, to uplifting prayers, words of encouragement to those struggling, and having the perfect scripture ready to share we say “Thank You!”

Pastor Greg was my neighbor for a few years. I will always remember him walking past my house in the mornings as I got ready to leave for work. One day, during a time of transition for my son, I paused as I drove out and he came up to my car and told me he said a prayer for each of his neighbors as he walked by their homes. That day he drew out my worries and prayed over me and my son in the middle of the street-a holy moment. I still try to remember his son Andrew in my prayers.  Pastor Greg is on a new path now but shared so much faith as a pastor and fellow human being.
