Preached in 2023, published in 2025, 300 pgs. St. Paul’s Evangelical Church in Marietta, Ohio, where I currently (2025),serve as pastor continues to recover, explore, and celebrate her faithful rootage by being faithful to the love and grace of Jesus Christ. While founded in 1839 as a German speaking Reformed Evangelical church, we are thoroughly American and have been for generations. Marietta, Ohio is where we have been planted, and this is where we are blooming. We are a hearty breed, faithful to the best of the ministry of Jesus Christ. St. Paul’s was originally founded to serve it’s local community in a language that they understood: German. Today we continue to serve that same mission: St. Paul’s aims to provide Christian worship, study, and service in language that people understand. Of course this means English, but more than that. Our aim is to make the gospel and the Bible understandable to ordinary people.
Good work, Phil.
