Hello, I'm Pastor James Barsch. I was called to serve Resurrection as the Senior Pastor in August 1998. Prior to working here I have served congregations in Upper Michigan, Southern Wisconsin and Western Wisconsin so the rich diversity of Resurrection has felt just right to me. Resurrection is a place where all of us, members, non members, and visitors are welcomed by God to hear God's word of Grace for our lives and to share in the meal of communion. This is God's house, and each of us has the opportunity to discover our gifts and grow in our faith. The community at Resurrection is learning the tools of relationship building and community organizing. We are challenging each other to name our deepest values and then live by them. We are growing in our understanding and ability to share this call across all generations. We are a community that likes to worship. The worship here is playfully serious with a growing diversity of musical styles in a liturgical and non liturgical traditions. I hope that Resurrection will, more and more be a beacon of God's love for our neighborhoods and for those who worship here. If it has been a while since you were in God's house, or if you have never been, God welcomes us all here.

Peace, Pastor Barsch
