Welcome aboard!


I'm excited to announce the addition of Elgin and Christina Combs to The Fields Church. Elgin will serve as a worship pastor who will coordinate all worship gatherings, develop musicians, and give leadership to our band as they encourage and inspire all of use to worship our amazing God.

His first weekend will be November 13/14.
We believe God continues to guide and lead us at The Fields Church. We will continue to share the powerful story of Jesus with our community. And we will continue to help people understand their need to follow Him in every aspect of their lives.

Meet Elgin and Christina

Speak Freely


Laughs. Tears. Silence. Worship. Confession. Compassion.


The Permission to Speak Freely tour was a powerful event hosted at The Fields Church Sunday night. Anne Jackson, Susan Isaacs and Sloveig Leithaug shared their personal stories in a way that gave absolute permission for anyone in the room to be open about their own lives--and they did.

It was an amazing night to be encouraged. It was a freeing night to share struggles. It was a humbling night as a pastor to hear how the church has been a blessing. It was an eye-opening night in how the church can be the problem. It was a wonderful night to watch God heal inner lives.

I'm thankful for three ladies willing to share. I'm hopeful it will be contagious.

Multi-Generational Musicians

Here's a great example of musicians in the their 20s to late 60s (maybe 70s) having a lot of fun on stage. These guys may have been around the block a few times, but they still know how to put on a good show for the crowd.
