Welcome to the LIGHT!

Deep in the heart of our country's Midwest, a majestic institution exists. We are honored to be based on excellence and spiritual standards.

Congratulations to the class of 2017!

We’ve just entered the first part of June and guess what?  It’s graduation time (again!)  We are so proud of our young students (now, young adults!) who are closing out 13 years of primary and secondary education and heading on to a diverse set of challenges:

some will be serving in our military (bless them and protect them, Lord!);
some will be heading on to technical school to take on the skilled training necessary to become master carpenters, plumbers, electricians, welders and more (Lord, you know we need more good people in our trades!);
some will be heading directly to the workforce (where we hope they will launch careers that grow and develop them, allowing them to contribute to society);
and some will be headed on to college for 4 (or more!) years of higher education preparing them to leave their mark in the world!

Kudos to Andrew Eng, Alek Weidman, Kyle Miller, Sarah Miller, Jacob Shroeder, Burak Marmara, Chloe Garcia.  All of you are in our thoughts and prayers.  God bless…we wish you all the best!

*** October 4th, 2026 *** 

Can you believe fall is here?  All Hallow’s Eve and Thanksgiving is just around the corner.  We wish you the wonderful opportunity to experience God’s beauty with the changing of the leaves and colors of His amazing creation!

Our prayer here at the LIGHT! is that you would experience God’s love and reflect the light of Jesus to all whom the Spirit brings into your life.  In excelsis Deo!

Please pray for the war that we are undertaking with Iran right now.  Pray for the soldiers who are in harms way and for the family of those who’ve fallen.  Pray that we would be able to achieve peace and be clear about why we are there.

Please continue to pray for our divided country.  May not only the Truth of Jesus prevail but also the “truth” of reality.  Helping Americans to focus more on solving problems using facts rather than debating even what the facts are is much more productive.  Let the politicians focus on *policy*.  We, as the Church, should focus on our *culture* and not depend on policy to define culture.  As we have said many times, “you can’t legislate morality.”  We can, however, be “winsome” as the Bible encourages us to be, and “win some” of our friends who are not yet believers to the faith!

Please pray for peace in the Middle East between Hamas and Israel.  We unequivocally support Israel’s right to defend itself.  We support non-Hamas affiliated Palestinians who want peace – they need humanitarian relief.  Israel should not be oppressing these folks.

Continue to pray for the Ukraine & Russian people suffering under Putin. Please pray for President Trump to stand against this aggression and to ensure the continued aid for the Ukrainians to keep fighting for their independence from the authoritarian regime of Vladimir Putin. 

*** Based on your feedback we will shift to hosting the services online even after the risk of COVID has lessened ***

Services
Our current focus is on learning more about “Welcoming the Stranger” – God’s heart for us as His people in how we show hospitality to those who are aliens in our land – status notwithstanding.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
