Trail Christian Fellowship

Gospel relationships are restored through open hearts, deep affection, and hopeful confidence. Join us as Pastor Kellen shows how Paul calls us to this truth in three short verses in 2 Corinthians 7:2-4.

Pastor Rob explores how the book of Joel, with it's "Day of the Lord" theme and dramatic imagry of catastrophy, shows how the sufferings of this age are a taste of the judgment to come. Joel 1:2-14

Pastor Rob shares in 2 Corinthians 6 how we are the temple of the living God and adopted as his beloved children; therefore, we live holy in the fear of the Lord.

ecause of the cross, God opens His heart to His enemies and invites sinners to be reconciled through Jesus Christ. Join Pastor Garret as he examines 2 Corinthians 6:1–13 and shows how true grace does not leave us unchanged; it widens our hearts, sustains us through suffering, and transforms us into people who treasure Christ above everything else.

Join us as one of our elders, Erik Bloemendaal, gives an overview of the book of Joel.

Reconciliation, Ambassador and Atonement: In 2 Corinthians 5:18–21, our Children's Pastor Jeremy Hascall explains how Jesus became our atoning sacrifice so we could be reconciled to God and made righteous through Him. Now, as Christ's ambassadors, believers are now entrusted with the message of reconciliation and the hope of the gospel.

Pastor Kellen concludes our study in Hosea with a lesson called, "Return, Restore, Renew." Hot on the heels of Israel's continued covenant-breaking adultery, God calls them back into relationship. Hosea 14 is the gospel in miniature: a call to return, a promise of restoration, and a vision of renewal—ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

As we get back into our study of 2 Corinthians, join pastor Rob as he shares that those who boast in themselves reveal they have missed the grace of God, but those who truly know Him live in reverent fear, seeking to please Him above all. Marked by integrity, they labor to persuade others to be reconciled to God and walk in new life in Christ.

Pastor Rob explains that in Hosea 11–13, God reveals both His deep love and His justice. He warns that if people keep turning away from Him as their helper, they will face His judgment. Still, there is hope. When we repent and trust God, He is ready to forgive and restore us.

In our final He Is Risen message, join Pastor Rob as he reflects on the ascension and total victory of Christ. Because of His victory, we are empowered by the Spirit to maintain unity through the love of Christ and to attain unity through the knowledge of Christ.

Join us as one of our elders, Shane Nelson, speaks on Hosea 10–11. We'll look at how Israel let their desires lead them away from God's principles, priorities, praise, and power. We'll also see how God, as a good and faithful Father, confronts evil and works to restore His people.

“The Unexpected Reality” Today, Pastor Garret invites us to look at 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 and think about the truth of Jesus' resurrection. This isn't just a hopeful idea or a story we tell. The resurrection really happened, challenging our doubts and calling us to respond. The resurrection is not just something we believe; it shapes how we live every day.

Join one of our elders, Robby Mannenbach, as he leads us through Hosea 8-9. Together, we'll explore what it means to desire more, how a complacent nation chases after the world, and how a loving father responds with just discipline.

Palm Sunday did not deliver the expected Messiah, but Easter shatters every expectation. When the stone rolled away, it wasn't only a tomb that opened, but a whole new way of seeing God, ourselves, and hope itself. Come, discover why the risen Jesus is far more than the Savior we expected and exactly the Savior we need.

This Good Friday, we invite you to join us as our elders each share one of the sayings from the cross, helping us see the heart of Christ in His final words. These seven sayings lead us deeper into the gospel, where forgiveness, love, mercy, sacrifice, justice, and redemption come together at Calvary.

"Not the Jesus You Expected?" When our expectations collide with the true King, we're invited to see Him as He really is. In Matthew 21:1–11, Pastor Kellen challenges us to examine whether our view of Jesus aligns with the reality of God's Messiah.

"From Tent to Glory" Because Christ is risen, your fragile body is not your final home, but a promise of something eternal and whole. In 2 Corinthians 5:1–10, Pastor Garret calls us to live by faith, not fear, anchored in the certainty that we will be with Him.

"A Love Too Deep To Ignore" God desires hearts fully devoted to Him, not empty religious sacrifice. In Hosea 6–7, Pastor Kellen reveals the Lord's patient call to return, made possible through the faithful love and restoring work of Jesus.

“Do Not Lose Heart” Because Jesus has conquered death, our suffering is neither meaningless nor final. In 2 Corinthians 4:16–18, Pastor Garret shows how present trials are preparing an eternal weight of glory for those who fix their eyes on Christ.

"Love Speaks Truth," God exposes our sin, disciplines His people, and still extends an invitation home. In Hosea 4–5, Pastor Kellen reveals the unexpected grace of God who calls us back through the loving sacrifice of Jesus.

God places His priceless gospel in ordinary, fragile lives so that His power, not ours, shines through. In 2 Corinthians 4:7–15, Pastor Rob shows how we are jars of clay, chosen to carry eternal treasure to a world desperate for hope.

One of our elders, Stephen Mauck, walks us through Hosea 3 and points us to the heart of the gospel: though we sin and fail daily, God remains faithful, redeeming us through the finished work of His Son, Jesus Christ. Hosea's pursuit of his adulterous wife, Gomer, is a powerful picture of Christ's pursuing, covenant love for His people; a love not based on our merit, but on His grace. In this, we...

Our guest for the "Great Commission Festival", David Moore, leads us in a study of language in the Bible. Pride and self-exaltation led to division and scattering, but God draws His people back together in Christ.

Pastor Rob examines Hosea 2:1-23 and share how God loves us too much to leave us to ourselves, so he disciplines us in order to bring us to repentance so that he can restore us in the eternal love of Christ.

This passage is a gift to every believer who feels fragile, tired, or inadequate. Paul says, “You are weak, yes, but God shines His light through weak people.” Follow along as Pastor Kellen explores 2 Corinthians 4:1-6.
