Rev. Stephen Sheets & Rev. Barbara Sheets
Pastors
It is great to be back home in Alaska! We are looking forward to what God is going to do in us and through us, as we reach out to people around us with the Good News of Jesus Christ. We love working with people of all ages, from newborn babies to the chronologically gifted and everyone in between. We love to hike, fish, camp, read, enjoy music, lead people to Christ, and help people grow in their relationship with Christ.
