Evangel is one big family that meets every week to worship Jesus, reconnect over coffee, and enjoy life together. It’s important to celebrate the victories and hold each other up in the struggles, and that’s why a relationship with Jesus is best lived out in community!
Evangel exists to build the Church in the Northern Great Plains Region through lives transformed by a Jesus-centered message, Spirit-empowered experiences, and authentic relationships before Jesus returns.
Josh Skjoldal is the Lead Pastor of Evangel. His main priority is building the church through authentic, relational, and practical leadership. Josh believes that the Church should be future-minded and has a heart for raising up leaders of all ages and backgrounds.
Leading healthy lives out of the overflow of healthy hearts
Giving high value to our families and relationships
Building our legacy as contributors not consumers
Engaging every opportunity with an effort worthy of eternity
Pursuing what’s ahead while honoring the past
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all humanity by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven and will return again to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make humanity aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every believer from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live under His guidance daily.
Salvation is God’s gift to you if you’ll accept it. We can never make up for our sin with self-improvement or good works. It is only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness that you can be saved from sin’s penalty. Eternal life begins the moment you receive Jesus Christ into your life by faith.
The Bible is God’s Word to all humanity. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the ultimate source of truth for Christian beliefs and living.
Humanity is made in the image of God. Although God designed us to have fellowship with Him, we became alienated from God through disobedience. As a result, all human beings are born with a sinful nature and choose to sin against God. We are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through our own efforts.
You were created to exist forever. We believe that forever is spent in one of two places: eternally separated from God because of sin or in union with God because of His forgiveness and salvation. When you die, you will either spend eternity in heaven or hell. Eternal separation from God happens in hell. Eternal union with God occurs in heaven.
In relationship with Jesus, we are not only saved from our sins and transformed by His work in our lives. We also become carriers of His power that works in us and through us.
The Church is the body of believers who gather together for worship, encouragement, support, and mission.
