Our Mission Statement
To encourage all people to find a loving relationship with God through Jesus Christ and to actively support growth in their faith.
Welcome
We are a congregation of believers committed to sharing the message of Christ and guiding others towards faith in Him. As a church, we aim to love those in our community with the same love Christ has given to us. Through all we do, say, and preach, we pray that we will shine the light of Christ to all those we encounter. If you are looking for a small but mighty, local and global mission-minded church in the American Falls area, we welcome you to visit us this weekend.
Meet our Pastor
We are truly blessed to have Pastor Elon Todd Wood and his wonderful wife, Kristie, as the guiding lights of our small congregation. Todd is a dynamic Bible preacher and teacher who faithfully travels from Idaho Falls each Sunday to be with us. He is a contagiously joy-filled, people lover, and a life-long Idahoan. He has a B.A. in Christian Missions, an M.A. in Theology, and a M. Divinity. Kristie has a B.S. in Nursing.
Here is a snippet from Pastor Todd's popular blog, Jesus in Idaho Falls. jesusinidahofalls.com
" Currently, I share pastoral ministry at Providence Downtown Church (Idaho Falls), Shepherd of the Falls Lutheran Church (American Falls), Seasoned by Grace Fellowship (Pocatello), and the Idaho Falls Rescue Mission. And I immensely enjoy it. Do you remember the hit movie, “Baptists At Our Barbecue,” based on the humorous novel? Well, I have stopped counting the number of barbecues that I have enjoyed with LDS people through all my years of living in Southeastern Idaho.
What is my Christian orientation? I am utterly passionate about truths laid out in the Bible. Though my mind often feels puny in grappling with great theological issues, you will quickly discover my heart given over to the fundamentals within that book."
Pastor Todd and Kristie lovingly encourage us with the Word of God, and inspire us to live for Christ.
Hebrews 10:24-25
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encourage one another- and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Pastor Todd also serves as chaplain for the Idaho Falls Rescue Mission and is pictured here on the new mural he helped paint.
