Who we are
The name “Charis” is the Greek word for “Grace.” Another name for “Grace” is the “Good News.” We teach the whole word of God, but we teach it based upon God’s love for his church. People who attend our services say, “I was really down when I came, but I left feeling better about myself. I was encouraged by the message. The message was so good. I learned so much from what I was taught.” Good News is Good News to the heart of God’s people. It will make a change in your life.
What We Believe
Pastors Pete and LeeAnn believe that God is intently interested in you and longs for a relationship with you. God Himself made a way for you to come to Him through an advocate who paid the debt no man is able to pay – JESUS.
Jesus restored the pathway to God, the wonderful Creator who is the Father of us all, and “ANYONE” who will receive Jesus as the payment for their sin and step into His magnificent Grace will live forever with God. Grace is freely given to all who will simply call on Him. He will fill you with life where you had only known defeat and failure. The “GOOD NEWS” is “YOU CAN BE SET FREE.”
At Charis, you will hear the message of “GRACE.” Grace is God’s abundant favor and blessings freely given to us, not because of any good works we do, but because of the perfect gift of JESUS.

Leader Bio:
My real name is Roland Burt. My dad called me Pete, and it has stuck with me. To some I am known as Pastor Burt, but many call me Pastor Pete. I grew up on a farm in Southeastern Minnesota. When I was 17, a farm tractor tipped over pinning me underneath. I was taken to the Mayo Clinic Hospital (St.Mary’s) in Rochester. I was broken up pretty bad, and they questioned if I would live.
It is a blessing to have had a mother who believed in God and prayer. She called The Oral Robert’s Prayer Tower in Tulsa, Oklahoma and asked them to pray for me. It was answered prayer. When the surgeons opened me up, they could find nothing majorly wrong. I had broken ribs, a punctured lung, and other external injuries, but healing had entered my body, and every day I was better.
In 1997, my wife, LeeAnn, and I moved to Oklahoma and attended Brother Kenneth E. Hagin’s Rhema Bible Training Center. We loved going to school at Rhema. Brother Hagin taught The Word of Faith. I fondly think of him as Dad Hagin. We learned much about faith, the power of God, and, of course, the healing Power of Jesus.
During my time at Rhema I would go to school every morning and work in the afternoon. There was a radio playing at work, and I would listen to a man by the name of Andrew Wommack. He taught on the Grace of God. To me Grace and Faith just seemed to belong together.
When we graduated from Rhema, we moved back to Minnesota and started “Lighthouse Church” in Rochester. I was ordained through Brother Hagin and Rhema Bible Church. I also was ordained by Rev. Jim Kasemen and Associated Faith Churches and Ministries (AFCM). I was the pastor and my wife was the ministry administrator. We rented space at three different locations, and then God blessed us with our own building on Elton Hills Drive. We have many fond memories of our time at Lighthouse. I love to teach others about the healing power of God. God healed so many people of so many things during our time there.

"Yes, Lord"
"Yes, Lord! Jesus, I give all of this to you. Jesus," I just started out a dream for my neighbourhood. "I didn't ask you to make me a messenger to the world. I just wanted to love my neighbours. But Jesus, here it is. Here's my future, here's my loneliness, here are all the pressures, here are the criticism", and I gave Him everything. And I told Him to take me again and I would try to make "Yes, Lord" the continuing motto of my life..
