I’m so proud to be a (sister) to this family of members at The River Church, Pastor Steve and Joan have built a beautiful community of believers/friends/family through their commitment to Christ, they have raised 5 wonderful children/grandchildren believing in Jesus. The church Mott, “To grow and love God and grow and love people “ This has come to full focus for me, because of them, and now Pastors Steve & Joan Crombie have successfully passed the mantle to their son Pastor Tony Crombie. “I Love My Church “ ❤️❤️🥰🥰 There is so many life testimonies through their teachings and compassion!

This is the third time I’ve attempted to nominate my pastor. First, I’d like to say that my computer knowledge, or lack thereof, is no reflection on this godly man! He has the wisdom to allow his paritioners to volunteer where they are willing to learn and grow and He trusts God for this. He is a faith filled person with a large heart for his flock! He is humble, kind, and honest. Trustworthy, reliable, and dependable. He listens when he doesn’t have time to do so, knowing that this conversation in front of him is a new opportunity that God has placed in front of Him. He encourages his people when the reality is front of them seems daunting. He relates to others and isn’t afraid to share his own opinions. He laughs with those who are happy and mourns with those crying. He is a true display of a man who believes the Word with his whole heart! A Pastor, a Husband (I’m sure Carol will attest to), father, son, friend like no other! And at the same time, one you recognize. Because he is a true reflection of Jesus.

Pastor Tim always teaches straight from Scripture every week with messages that always speak of God’s love and grace. He teaches that salvation is by faith alone but our salvation should lead us to make better choices as we are filled with the Holy Spirit. He always invites everyone to share in God’s love and hopes to bring others the good news. Every message is always sprinkled with a history and vocabulary lesson too. I love it. I leave every week feeling renewed and grateful. In addition to that, the church is very involved in the community helping those in need of recovery and in need of mental health support. He is truly gifted and is also a gift to Pine City.

We thank you Pastor Missling for taking this calling to be our Pastor which had been vacant for a while. Already, you’ve made an impact and brought changes to better the church. Thank you for tending the sheeps. 1 Tim 4 describes exactly who you are. We are truly grateful for you!

He is such a great pastor! He always has such great messages! Thank you so much for all you do!

Pastor Joe has taken over as Senior Pastor for Beautiful Savior in the last year and his heart for the church and our broader community is incredible! He has worked so hard to the lead the congregation in so many efforts to improve areas we lacked in and celebrated areas that we found success in. He lead the search for a new associate pastor and has lead the team of staff at the church to be inspired and to create amazing energy and new life in how we build Christian community. Pastor Joe cares about all generations at the church and specifically focuses on connecting with those generations each time a new initiative is brought to life. Pastor Joe is relatable and humble, he is an incredible leader, and has God at the center of his life and it shows. I am very grateful that God lead Pastor Joe to be the leader of our church community at Beautiful Savior!

Thank you Deven for all you do for Berean! Your sermons have been so encouraging, to share the message of the good news, the one and only true King, our sovereign God, who loves us, even though we are not worthy of His amazing grace. I am so thankful for you and your amazing family!
