Pastor Kristin Vander Ploeg

Explore what it means to grow as the Body of Christ during the season after Pentecost. Pastor Kristin reflects on faith, worship, service, and community, encouraging believers to use their unique gifts to strengthen the church and serve God’s mission in Brighton and beyond.

As Pentecost approaches, this reflection invites us to celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the Church. It reminds believers that each person is equipped with spiritual gifts to serve, lead, and share the gospel. In a season of transition, Pentecost calls the church to step out in faith, trust the Spirit’s guidance, and embrace new ways of living out Christ’s mission.

As winter fades, the arrival of spring and Easter reminds us that God is always doing something new. Through Christ’s resurrection, we are given hope, fresh starts, and new life each day. At Lord of Life, signs of renewal are emerging as members serve, lead, and prepare for the future, trusting God’s promise to bring new life in every season.
