Lewiston Community Church, Lewiston, Michigan Church Profile
Lewiston Community Church in Lewiston, Michigan, is an active community with 40-50 regular attendees and 65 members. We embrace a rich tapestry of church, faith, and theology backgrounds, with many second and third-generation members. Our congregation includes year-round residents and second-home attendees.
Our church, with a history spanning over a century, is a beacon of faith and community. We are proud to be a friendly, Bible-teaching, and praying church. Our members and attendees are known for their generosity, which has led us to be debt-free and able to support multiple mission organizations. This financial stability, a result of our members' generosity, is a testament to our unwavering commitment to serving others.
Members serve on church councils, the board of diaconate, and trustees to help serve the church and pastor. They also participate in Bible and book studies, lunch and learning sessions, and community picnics.
The congregation collaborates with other local churches to serve many community endeavors. We serve and support Community Sharing, a food bank and clothing center established by three local churches. Members organize a Children’s Christmas workshop, where kids can purchase gifts for their families at a nominal price. We strive to identify the greatest needs in our community and work alongside our neighbors to make a lasting impact on our town. Local church pastors regularly collaborate throughout the year to serve the community.
We have a beautiful historic church building close to the town center, ample grounds, and a parsonage. The interior is traditional and has been well-maintained over the years. Technology has been upgraded to support sound, video, and zoom improvements. Our lower level is available with a full-service kitchen for both church and community events.
Our vision is to grow the church by strengthening its service to the community. We pray that more individuals and families will join our church. We are committed to building on our strong Bible teaching, worship, and prayer foundation.
We are a non-denominational church recently disassociated from the United Church of Christ. This was done partly because of theological differences with the denomination and partly to expand our search for a new pastor. It also reduced potential barriers to visiting our church.
Lewiston is located in northern Michigan. Its population is 1,000, with several thousand living in the township and surrounding areas. The population shifts with seasonal vacationers. The area is rich in natural resources and multiple recreational activities, making it a wonderful place to live and worship.
