     We are a young and small church congregation; having started Sunday morning services on November 5, 2006.  We appreciate the congregation of the Seventh Day Adventist Church in allowing us to lease their facilities on Sundays.  As we grow, we trust God to give us a building to call home.  In the meantime, and in the future, our focus as a church is threefold.

1. To proclaim the gospel to the lost and dying world of Dawson County and unto the world.

2. To disciple believers through solid Bible teaching and preaching of the Word of God.

3. To have a presence in our community.

OUR PASTOR...

     Brother Tuggle was born and reared in the rural town of Clinton, Illinois.  After graduating from high school, he attended Hyles-Anderson College, Crown Point, Indiana.  He received both a Bachelor of Science and Master's of Education degree.

     Brother Tuggle has 32 years of Bible preaching and teaching experience.  Having pastored in Tennessee, Illinois, Nebraska, and then, a two year nationwide ministry working with the Youth of America and church planters; Brother Tuggle is excited about pastoring in Gothenburg, NE.  He is a firm believer that God has provided us an answer to all of man's problems through His Word:  THE HOLY BIBLE.  Therefore, he preaches practical Christianity to be used in our daily, spiritual, family, and business life.
