Welcome to the Chippewa Lake Community Church web page. We are a congregation
with a kingdom mentality. That is, this church body is friendly and loving, a people with a
focus on God, his Word, and his people. We want you to experience God's presence as
you worship and listen to the message. We hope you will find each week's message
inspiring, challenging, and uplifting.
Another of our goals is to help people discover and fulfill their purpose in God's
kingdom. We do this by encouraging one another, worshiping together, and providing
opportunities to serve others.
We are focused on outreach, especially in our local community. We look for ways to
make the most of every opportunity before the Lord returns.
If you are searching for a church where the sermons are always fresh and full of fire, the
people kind and loving, we invite you to come and check us out. We look forward to
meeting you personally.

The union of husband and wife is one of the most profound and enduring partnerships in human existence which ours started August 4, 1979. Tim and I are lifelong residents of this community. We live on a family farm which used to be dairy but now has been renovated into a beef farm. We both have been and still are active in the 4-H program (37yrs). We were active in the Cub Scouts and Boys’ Scouts when our children were little.
When our children were at elementary school I volunteered as a popcorn mom (which I still do on occasion), and I helped in the classrooms and worked at the publishing center. We have both been very active in the community. I was on the Chippewa Lake Community Building Board as the secretary for many years and helped with Chippewa Lake Days.
We are both members of the Chippewa Lake Community Church. We have been going to CLCC church for many years (in fact we were married here) I am currently the CLCC Treasurer. We both attend bible study weekly. I have taught VBS, and Sunday school for many years. Tim and I both enjoy working at the CLCC Food truck, and the fundraising events that are held for the church.
We enjoy going camping with our children and grandchildren. Going to the many athletic functions of our grandchildren, yes you guessed we are their biggest fans! We both share a strong faith and love for our Lord. We continually strive for a better relationship with our Father.
