Pastor Russell Logston
Greetings! We are glad that you are taking the time to visit our website, and I hope that you might come and visit our church. You will find an active faith community living with a true desire to serve those around us.
I have been the pastor at Lake City since July 2019, and serving as a United Methodist pastor since 1984. I began in ministry after I graduated from college and began my studies at the Theological School in Ohio located in Delaware, Ohio. In 1988 I graduated with my Masters of Divinity and Masters of Art in Christian Education. Since that time I have served churches from Southern West Virginia to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
I married my wife, Jane, in 1988 and we have two children, and one grandson who was born in August of 2019.
Jesus once said, John 15:5 -- I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. I believe that the foundation of faith and life is in turning to Christ and in desiring to know him better day by day. Jesus called his followers disciples; which defines them as learners. Jesus taught them and they learned, and then they went forth to share with all the love of God that they found for their lives that breathed eternal life into their existence and unseated the power of death. I invite you to come and join me in this faith journey. The Apostle Paul once said, (Philippians 3:14) "I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus." The hope and life that God has given to the world is still with us, and you can be a part of it.
