We believe God delights to dwell with His people, and that when we open our lives to Him - through gratitude, obedience, and surrendered worship -He meets us there. Our goal is to help people cultivate an atmosphere in their hearts, homes, and everyday walk where God loves to be present.
What do you do when faith collides with pain?
When prayers feel unanswered.
When the story doesn’t turn out the way you hoped.
When the quiet question creeps in:
“If God is faithful… why does this still hurt?”
This message was born out of a real conversation, a real question, and a season of prayer asking God what He wanted to say to our community right now.
In this sermon, Faithful When the Story Hurts, we talk honestly about:
- disappointment and doubt
- unmet expectations
- grief that doesn’t resolve
If you’re curious about faith or looking for a church that feels real and welcoming, you’re invited to Beaver Lake Community Church. Come as you are, take your time, and explore what it means to walk with God in everyday life. We’re a church that values honest conversations, meaningful worship, and a faith that shows up beyond Sunday.

Chris Sanders is the Lead Pastor of Beaver Lake Community Church, where his heart is to help people encounter God in real, everyday life. His teaching blends deep biblical truth with storytelling, honesty, and practical application, inviting people to move beyond surface faith into a lived, transformational walk with Jesus.
Pastor Chris is passionate about creating space for God’s presence—both within the church and in the rhythms of daily life. He believes faith is meant to be practiced, not perfected, and that God meets people right where they are, whether they’re exploring faith for the first time or seeking deeper roots.
Alongside his wife, Deb, he is committed to building a welcoming, scripture-based community where people can ask honest questions, grow together, and discover their God-given purpose.


This year isn’t about hype or burnout.
It’s about steady devotion, deep roots, and a love for Jesus that lasts.
FAITHFUL is about staying close to Christ in the miracle and the mundane.
About endurance fueled by worship, not willpower.
About keeping Jesus at the center — no turning back.
You will hear us say this frequently throughout 2026:
"Where is Jesus in your focus right now?"
Join us for a year of spiritual formation marked by trust, surrender, and a God who never fails.
Something meaningful is being built here — and you’re invited to be part of it.
