Mr. Kerry Bauman

Dear Friends,

As we begin the third decade of our existence as a church family I would like to express my sincere and heartfelt love and appreciation for each one of you. Partnering together in the ministry we have enjoyed the privilege of being used by God to introduce many to faith in Christ. The power of the Gospel to transform lives has never been more apparent than it is today. It has truly been a joyous journey. I look forward with great anticipation to what the Lord will do here at CLCBC in the next twenty years. May you enjoy God's richest blessings as you follow Jesus and serve Him faithfully.

Your Pastor,

Senior Pastor

"... It has been a privilege for me to serve Christ among the people of our church. I have had the opportunity to lead many to a personal relationship with Christ while, at the same time, discipling others to be better followers of our Lord. Perhaps my greatest joy has been to watch individuals grow in their understanding of God's will and submit to it in faith."

Kerry Bauman is the Pastor of Chain of Lakes Community Bible Church (CLCBC) in Lake Villa, Illinois.
