Thank you for your genuine leadership! It’s refreshing to belong to a church with a senior pastor who has the heart to love without compromising biblical principles, pray, preach the truth, and  use the fruit of the spirit in you to reach all those in the surrounding communities whether believers or not.  It does not go unnoticed that you think about your talk and walk wanting to do your best to follow Jesus. I appreciate the unity your try to foster and your efforts against division among Christians of different denominations. I thank God for you and your heart to serve Him in any capacity!

Pastor Sean , I believe God has chosen you and this place for where you are now. I believe you are making our Lord very proud so please keep it up. Thank you for being a man after God’s own heart. My family and I appreciate you more than you will ever imagine. We pray that the Lord will bless you and your family. “May the Lord make His face shine down upon you.” We love and thank you.

Pastor Steve we appreciate your hard work in feeding your flock. We love you and may the Lords light continue shining upon you. -Gabby

Pastor Tyler deserves to be nominated because he is such a blessing to our family and many other families within our church and community. He bring so much joy and encouragement through God’s word. He leads the youth of our church, also, and it’s so refreshing to see such nice young kids have a great mentor! His sermons are intriguing and engaging often even with a touch of humor. Tyler and his wife Emily deserve a great night out on the town. Thank you for considering!

Thank you, Pastor Sam, for bringing the fire back into the pulpit and preaching the truth to us all!!

It feels like only 16 days the last 16 years I have attended in the church that you lead. You are honest, dedicated, and kind shepherd full of His Word. God be with you and your family.

Pastor Kyle is the most “caring for his flock” pastor I have ever known. He is strong in his convictions but gentle in his feelings for God’s people and people who need God. P.K. prays for his flock and others brought to his attention. He is super cool giving the children’s message.  The children love him and flock to him. P.K. does not put on airs.  (sp?)  He is a real person and lets us know we are in this together seeking God. His messages are good and cause you to think and pray about them.  He encourages us to talk with God. P.K. can sing really well…really well! He and my Norwegian husband say “god dag, god dag” every time they see each other. P.K. jumps into ice cold water in the winter to raise $ for good community causes.  (He’s so tall and skinny – he must freeze to the bone!) He responds to my emails with thoughtful answers and scripture references. I thank God for giving us this man and I pray for God to help him preach and teach from His Word. I pray for Pastor Kyle to find rest…so he can keep doing what he is doing  (I’m admitting to my motives!) I hope you will choose Pastor Kyle Sidlo and his wonderful wife, Val (she does SO much!  e.g. God’s Grub: a FREE community meal the 2nd Sunday every month – October 8th is “Breakfast for Supper” – Come & join us!) (maybe this box should be bigger, ha!)

“The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching” -1 Timothy 5:17 I want to thank my pastor, Jeff. He is amazing at what he does. I believe he speaks to everyone in the room. He saved my soul and family’s with the Word of God, for that I am thankful. Keep going and I hope you prosper, take off, and reach as many people who need the messages you give.

You are an amazing pastor and person. You have helped us grow with Christy so much and have helped save our marriage and my life.  We love and appreciate you so much.

Pastor Jeff, We are overjoyed that you are leading our church!  You are a bright ray of encouragement that reminds us that church is so much more than the walls of our building.  We are a family, and we are so glad that you and your family have joined us!  Your passion for children and youth programming is wonderful and we appreciate your guidance providing a firm faith foundation for our youth!  We look forward to a long relationship with you and your loved ones – growing faith in Somerset. Yours in Christ, Christ Lutheran Church
