Dylan Schultz-Lead Pastor

Activities

I live to experience the presence of God and give Him glory. I love looking into the eyes of my wife, listening to the music of my children’s laughter and learning how to do these things better. I also don't mind playing the major sports of disc golf and ping pong now and then.

Interests

I am interested in seeing my wife fulfilled, my children whole heartedly love Jesus and God's Kingdom advanced.

Passions

I am passionate about prayer.  I believe prayer is the life breath of every follower of Jesus.  Jesus died not only to take our sins away from us but to take us away with Him. We have access now because the veil that brought separation was torn as His body was on the cross. Too high a price was paid for us not to pray.

I am passionate about the word of God.  It is where faith comes from.  Faith to pray, hear and receive what God has promised.

I am passionate about seeing people become passionate about things that are eternal. Too much time is spent thinking, worrying, and stressing about the here and now which is nothing compared to the hereafter. 

I am passionate about seeing the church become the body of Christ the bible says it is. The bible records Christ’s body being filled with compassion for all people and willing to serve sacrificially. The body of Christ offered love, acceptance and provision for spiritual and physical needs.  His body didn’t speak anything the Heavenly Father wasn’t speaking or do anything the Heavenly Father wasn’t doing.  The church is the body of Christ
