Join Pastors Shawn Boonstra and Merlin Cochran for A Pale Horse Rides on Thursday, November 2, 2023 as they journey to find the root of the problem…and a potential solution! Discover key events that set the stage for the church’s current crisis and meet a heroic barbarian tribe whose resolve to follow the Bible alone lit the fire for a radical Reformation.

A Pale Horse Rides

During this world’s darkest hours, many men and women risked it all for the faith they believed in. What really motivated these people? Was it lunacy, stubbornness—or something more?

Join us on a journey that begins in the ashes of Rome and culminates in a fiery Reformation that changed the world. These secretive believers faced a peril like none before. Their stories of faith and fortitude will inspire you.

Pastor Shawn Boonstra will take us to sites on location while Pastor Merlin Cochran will lead a discussion in a live session.
