Pastor’s Message
The most important of all Seventh-day Adventist beliefs is the one that brings joy and assurance to Christians everywhere; the truth about our heavenly Father that was confirmed at such cost by the life and death of His Son.
We believe that God is not as His enemies have made Him out to be – arbitrary, unforgiving and severe. We accept the testimony of Jesus when he said, “If you have seen have seen Me, you have seen the Father.” God is just as loving and trustworthy as His Son, just as willing to forgive and heal. Though infinite in majesty and power, our Creator is equally gracious and values nothing higher than the freedom, dignity and individuality of His intelligent creatures – that their love, their faith, their willingness to listen and obey, may be freely given. This is the everlasting Good News that wins the trust and admiration of God’s loyal children throughout the universe.
We are amazed at how abundantly God is blessings the Cottonwood Church. Like any growing family we experience the challenges relative to growth. Our church has a continued commitment to the exciting task of creating an environment of worship that glorifies and praises God, while bringing joy and fulfillment to His children.
Whether you are young or old, no matter the size of your family, my wife, Christine, and I are looking forward to the opportunity to meet you and your loved ones.
Yours in the Lord’s service,
Pastor Rocky Gale
