Our Vision
Messiah's Vision is to INVITE people to faith, to CARE for each other with love, to help one another GROW in faith, and to SHARE our gifts with others.
You are welcome here. I hope I get the chance to meet you in person soon. Have a blessed day.
OUR LILLY CLERGY RENEWAL

We have applied to have a Lilly Foundation Clergy Renewal grant awarded to Messiah for 2026. If it is awarded Pastor Karl will be away for 15 weeks on a rest and renewal leave framed around the life and writings of C.S. Lewis. The grant awards will be made known August 29, 2025.
​
There will also be events and opportunities at Messiah related to the theme. The grant application is available if you are curious please reach out to Pastor Karl.
​
We also made a video introducing Messiah and our desire for a grant to the folks who read and decide upon the applications.
