by Chris Plekenpol As a child, we all had days where we hated school. We would ask a series of questions to adults that inevitably would leave them speechless. It started like this. "Why do I have to go to school?" "So that you can get an education", "Why do I need an education?" "So you can get a job." "Why do I need a job?" "So you can provide for yourself t...

by Chris Plekenpol I recently was texted this question: "Can I ask God for my future husband to be creative, faithful and honest and love people? Is that wrong? How specific is too specific?" Great question. God is wanting us to have a conversation with him all the time. He is wanting us to share our deepest desires with him. But we find in Psalm 37, this truth: Deligh...

By Chris Plekenpol What an exciting week it has been for the Plekenpol family. Tuesday morning at 9:51am, Austin Lee Felton Plekenpol joined the land of the living! The doctor unwrapped the umbilical cord from around his neck, pulled Austin out of Adrienne and we all rejoiced. However, the morning was fraught with drama. At around 5am Adrienne's water broke. The pain came...

Hey Family, This Sunday we are going to bring a new quarterly tradition to Wells Branch Community Church. It is called First Monday Fast and Pray. We believe the scriptures teach a regular discipline of fasting. In Matthew 5:16-18 Jesus said, "And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others...

February has been an incredible time. We experienced an amazing Flag football tournament on Super Bowl Sunday. Thanks to Grayson Dzialo, Ben Dion, and the host of others who made that all happen! This past weekend, we ventured out to prison in Lockhart. The band played and people wept as for a moment lonely souls fraught with disappointment were transported to another wor...

by Chris Plekenpol You heard the testimony of Duche this weekend about how someone visited him while he was in prison. It was incredible. I promise you, you will have interactions with people like Duche that need Jesus. Last April we did the same thing, and I was able to lead 5 people personally to a decision for Christ. Please join us on Saturday, February 9th. On Febr...

By Chris Plekenpol Over the holidays I was asked this question. How can someone say, "You are going to Hell and I love you in the same breath?" I think that is a common question. How can anyone be so arrogant to say that another person is going to Hell and then have the audacity to say, "I love you."? Let me try and answer this as plainly as possible. People do bad st...
