Who we are
Atonement is a place to belong. We are committed to proclaiming the freedom and new life that comes from trusting in Jesus Christ, standing strong on His Word, and serving those around us in His love! We want to see each family and individual reach their full potential and purpose in Christ.
We Believe
God
We believe that the only true God is the Triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – revealed in the Bible (Deut. 6:4; John 10:30; Matt. 28:19);
The Bible
We believe that God has given us the Bible as His fully inerrant, fully sufficient, and inspired Word (John 10:35; 2 Tim. 3:16a) , by which He teaches us the only way of salvation (Luke 24:25-27; John 20:31) and guides us in godly living ( 2 Tim. 3:16b);
Man
We believe that all people are by nature alienated from God both by the corrupted nature inherited from Adam (Gen. 3:6; Rom. 5:12; Ps. 51:5) and by their own sinful thoughts, words, and actions (Rom. 3:23; Mark 7:21-23);
Salvation
We believe that rescue from the punishment deserved for our sin and restoration to fellowship with God is not something man could work out for himself (Rom. 8:7; 1 Cor. 2:14); it was provided as a free gift of God’s grace through the sacrifice of His own Son, Jesus Christ, who lived a perfect life under the Law of God in man’s place (Gal. 4:4-5) and bore the full punishment for our sin for us (John 3:17; 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Pet. 3:18);
Faith
We believe that though Christ died for all (1 John 2:2), the benefits of His work are held only by those who come to a personal trust in Jesus as their Savior (Eph. 2:8; Rom. 5:1-2);
Conversion
We believe that saving faith is also a gift of God, since it is the Holy Spirit who convinces the person in his heart of the need for forgiveness and leads him to put his trust in the completed word of Jesus as the only solution (1 Cor. 12:3b; Eph 2:8-9);
Christian living
We believe that a gradually transformed life filled with Christ-like love and good works will be the natural fruit of faith in the Christian (John 15:5; Rom. 6:1-2); this transformation is made possible by the Holy Spirit who indwells every believer from the moment of salvation; the realization that the Christian life is lived not in the believer’s power but by Christ’s power in and through the believer is the basis for real joy, freedom, power, and victory in the Christian life (Gal. 2:20).

Leader Bio:
I was privileged to be raised in a Christian home but never thought I would enter pastoral ministry … until that thought jetted into my thoughts at a high school play cast party of all things. That led to years of schooling both in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Barb and I, who were high school sweethearts, got married in the midst of those school years and have now been blessed with nine married children and 20 grandchildren! I was privileged to serve congregations in Wisconsin, Georgia, and Illinois before coming to Atonement in 1992. These have been the most active and fulfilling years of my life – and I am looking forward to all that is ahead.

Dress Code
We want you to feel comfortable. After all, we are thrilled that you’re joining us and want you to be more focused on the service than what you’re wearing. In the summertime, it’s not uncommon to see people wearing sandals, shorts, and a shirt. Others prefer to still put on their “Sunday best,” and that’s fine too! We think you’ll fit in no matter how you dress.
