Seventy years of faithful, gospel-centered ministry. 🙌

This week, Pastor Mike is in Guam celebrating 70 years of what God has done through First Church of God—decades of lives changed, families strengthened, and the Gospel faithfully lived out in their community.

From the very first moment—being welcomed at the airport by church family—you can see it: this isn’t just history, it’s a living story.

A story of faithfulness.
A story of endurance.
A story that’s still being written.

Grateful for FCOG and for the generations who have said “yes” to Jesus and His mission on the island.

Here’s to 70 years—and what’s still ahead.

Are we running out of pastors—or are we raising the wrong kind?

A new white paper from Warner Pacific University names the leadership gap many of us are already feeling—and points toward a better way forward.

Not just more leaders.
Better formed leaders.

If you’re leading, developing leaders, or thinking about what’s next for the Church, take a few minutes to read this.

Guam Update 🇬🇺
Our brothers and sisters in Guam are safe—and power has now been restored.

The storm lingered over the island for more than four days, with winds up to 90 mph. Many lost power, though water remained available throughout at a trickle.

FCOG gathered for a workday to begin recovery and shared heartfelt thanks to everyone who prayed on behalf of their island.

Grateful for God’s protection—and for a Church that shows up for one another.

First Church of God in Barrigada, Guam (along with Touchpoint Church of God in Yigo, Guam) are part of our Association family—and right now, they’re preparing for Typhoon Sinlaku.

Take a moment to listen to Senior Pastor Ron Guison (FCOG) share a brief update and then join us in praying for God’s protection, provision, and steady presence over Guam.

Association family, let’s be in prayer.

Tropical Storm Sinlaku is forecast to impact the island of Guam, where our churches—Touchpoint Church of God and First Church of God—are living and serving.

Please pray for protection over families, strength for pastors and leaders, and provision for those affected.

Pray also that the Church would be a steady and visible hope in the midst of the storm. 🙏🏽

Tropical Storm Sinlaku could develop into a Category 3 or 4 typhoon with winds around 120 miles per hour as it makes a “very close approach” to Guam on Monday

We’re excited to introduce our Family Camp 2026 evening speaker—Pastor Bob Marvel.

Bob is a third-generation preacher, longtime pastor, and gifted communicator who blends biblical truth with real-life stories (and a good dose of humor). He’s traveled the world on mission, climbed mountains, run marathons—and most weekends, faithfully pastors his church in the Pacific Northwest.

More than anything, he loves Jesus and His Church—and we’re expectant for what God will do through his teaching as we gather around Only Jesus.

Get to know Bob here:
