Pastor Bill’s latest post explores why so many of us wrestle with trusting God amid pain and uncertainty. It’s a thoughtful invitation to return to the steady promise of Christ’s resurrection.

More Scammers Claiming to be our Pastors

NEVER PURCHASE GIFTS CARDS FOR CHURCH

Our pastors will never email you individually to ask for money. Once again, many SLC members have received scam emails claiming to be from Pastor Bill or Pastor Jonathan. These are fraudulent. You can identify them by checking the sender's address—Pastor Bill’s official email is pastorbill@silverdalelutheran.org. If the message is not exactly from that address, it is not from him. Please block and delete these emails and do not respond.
