Pastor Emily preaches with unconditional love and grace in both children’s and adult ministries at LCM.

My parents have been in the ministry for 50 years and they are in their 70s and still have a passion to witness to lost souls in these end days. My dad still continues to preach the oneness of the Godhead according to Acts 2:38 .They have been through many trials and heartaches but they have never let go of their faith in God. I am so proud of them and I am blessed because we were raised in a Godly home and it continues to 5 generations now! Praise God for wonderful Parents who our dedicated to helping others in a world of uncertainty. My mother has been by a great help in all aspects of the ministry as a praying women of God she has helped out in more ways that I can imagine! They both have sacrificed and continue to reach out to hurting people. What a blessing they are to their children and all that came to the Lord in their ministry.

Pastor Micah is a young Pastor, married to Brittany and has 2 children Norah and Evan. Pastor Micah has so much passion for the Lord and the Word. He puts all he has into his sermons and than some more. We’ve been attending his church for a little over 2 years. We see the love and time he gives to all, from the young through to the older ones. One can see he is a true man of God. He wants to share the Word of the Lord with everyone! And it’s showing through the growth of the church. Everyone love Pastor Micah!!!

Pastor Brian, we appreciate everything you do and how involved you are. Thank you for your time and work in the church. Thank you for everything you do! Happy Pastor Appreciation Month!

Pastor Steve, you (and your family) are such a blessing to our family and our church! We so appreciate your humble, servant heart. We have been challenged in our faith to be more like Christ because of your teaching, leadership and example. Thank you for all you do! Please know that all of your hard work, a lot of times going above and beyond, is greatly appreciated.

Lisa Renlund is the Care Pastor at Crossroads Church in Woodbury. A little over 3 years ago I was diagnosed with leukemia. It was a scary time for me and I didn’t know what to do. One of the first things that came to mind was to request prayers from our church. I sent a message late one evening and the first thing the next morning, I received a call from Lisa. We met in person shortly soon after. Meeting with Lisa was the best thing for me and helped me feel peace during such a difficult time. She immediately told me of a cancer group that is part of our church. I joined and it has been so helpful to be with others that are or have been on a similar journeys, with our faith at the center. I’m still on the cancer rollercoaster journey and Lisa has been there for me every step of the way. I don’t know what I would do without her. It’s difficult to put into words what she has meant to me through this journey. It is remarkable how she’s able to be there for so many of us going through trying times, but she is. She’s very caring, supportive, empathetic and warm hearted. Thank you, Lisa, for all you do <3

Pastor Jason is the real deal. He preaches from the Word, no fluff, no entertaining. He believes the Bible is authoritative in all that it teaches, is to be obeyed in all that it requires, and is to be trusted in all that it promises. He is my brother in law, is an awesome man of God, and also my best friend.

Thank you Pastor Brent for your love and support in my current season of life. Your preaching reminds me weekly I’m not in control, God is and he has a plan for me and to continue to pray and trust in him. I appreciate you sharing your testimony in your sermons and it gives me hope that I will breakthrough my anxiety and depression. Thank you to you and my Edinbrook family for all your continued prayers for myself and my family. Love, Alyssa Fox Ps… your wife Danielle is a precious blessed friend to have!

Pastor Ray, We can’t thank you enough for the godly, Christ-centered messages each week, and the fun and committment you have shared with the Connections’ family, over the past 12 years. Your passion each week in sharing the Gospel and bringing the lost to a saving knowledge of Christ keeps populating heaven and bringing joy to our hearts. You’re the best, Ray Fritz! God sure knew what he was doing taking you from a youth pastor to shepherding Connections!
