Phos Church

Phos Church A church located in the heart of Sterling Heights, Michigan. Our mission: Love God. Love the one. Make disciples.

PHOS CHURCH has undergone many different eras, dating all the way back to 1913. What began as a small neighborhood Sunday School group in the city of Detroit transformed through the blessing of God into an established organization. The church officially began in 1921 when it joined the Missionary Church Association under the name of Kerwin Missionary Church. Four years later, the congregation move

d buildings and was renamed Eastlawn Missionary Church. By the 60s, the church numbers were in decline due to many in the congregation migrating to the suburbs of Metro Detroit. In early 1970s, the current building was constructed in Sterling Heights. In May of 1999, 25 years after the first service, the name of the church was changed to Parkside Community Church. Throughout 2019 and 2020, the church appealed to the Missionary Church Association for a new, young pastor to come in and revitalize both the congregation and the surrounding area. PHOS CHURCH is the fresh revival of an institution with nearly 100 years of history. We hope to see the Lord work through us as we bring the Light to the world for the next 100 years.

You know that person you haven’t talked to in forever? The friend you keep thinking, “I really need to reach out to them…” Send the text. Make the call. Check in. This week let’s be intentional about reconnecting with someone.

This past Sunday, Pastor Tyler took us through Luke 12:1 and challenged us to look beyond simply knowing the right things and saying the right things. One quote he shared from Pete Scazzero: “Jesus may be in your heart, but Grandpa is in your bones.” Sometimes the things we’ve been surrounded by, the patterns we’ve learned, and the sin we’ve carried for years can become deeply rooted in us. The Israelites were freed from Egypt, but it took a while for Egypt to get out of Israel. And maybe that’s true for us, too. We can love Jesus. We can come to church. We can know Scripture. We can say all the right things. And still struggle with sin.

Jesus frees us from the power of sin, but the presence of sin is still something we battle. Salvation doesn’t mean the struggle disappears. It means we no longer have to be ruled by it.

Sunday, September 13th | Annual Meeting

During service, Pastor Tyler will take some time to share his heart as we look back over this past year at Phōs and the things God has done and all the ways we’ve seen Him faithfully lead us.

We’ll also be looking ahead — talking about where we believe God is leading Phōs in this next season and what it can look like for us to continue saying yes to whatever He puts in front of us.

We’d love for you to be there and be part of the conversation as we celebrate what has been and look toward what’s ahead.

And because no good church gathering should end without food… stay after service for our annual chili cook-off!

School is starting back up, and this week we want to do something simple to remind a teacher in our community that they are seen and appreciated.

Teachers spend so much of their time pouring into our kids often giving more than what is required of them. So this week, we want to pour back into them. Grab a coffee. Bring a favorite treat. Drop off a gift card. Write a note of encouragement. Help stock their classroom. Or simply find a teacher and thank them for what they do.

Throwback Thursday.

In II Timothy 3:5, Paul warns about people who “act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly.” And in Luke 11:37–41, Jesus confronts the Pharisees for being so concerned with the outside of the cup while the inside was “full of greed and wickedness.”

Jesus wasn’t interested in people who simply looked religious. He wanted transformed hearts. In Sunday’s sermon we were reminded that it’s possible to know the language, attend the services, follow the customs, and look the part and still miss Jesus entirely. Church isn’t a gathering of people who have perfected themselves. It’s a place for people who know they need Jesus.

The question for us as believers isn’t, “Do I look like a Christian?” But instead, “Has Jesus changed me from the inside out?”
