Welcome to ELC! I am Pastor Dennis. I feel very blessed that our Heavenly Father brought me to serve as pastor of God’s people here at ELC in 2009. What a wonderful journey it has been so far! God has brought so many new faces to ELC and it has been exciting watching so many people either come to faith for the first time, or growing deeper in their love for our Lord Jesus Christ and His people.  Although we have come a long way, we still have a tremendous amount of work to do. Our main focus in the coming years is to help our members grow deeper in their love for Jesus and for His people. We also want to help strengthen our families to be able to pass their faith on to their children. If you are looking for a congregation of people who are genuine, caring, pretty much “down to earth”, joyful, and who are growing in their faith, then we would love to have you come visit us. If you would like information before you visit, please feel free to contact either myself, Pastor Drahus, or our church office. On another personal note, I have been married to my wife Linda for over 35 years. We have two children, Joshua and Bethany. I enjoy hunting, fishing, and just about any outdoor activity. I also am a Rams, Knicks and Mets fan. I know I really shouldn’t list them!! We hope to meet you soon!
