- Much appreciate his authentic and vulnerable sermons. I love that he is not afraid to speak the Biblical truth, even when it is difficult and goes against our culture.
- Every time I go to church and hear Jason preach I am able to use what he says in my life right away. I share what he says with other people and feel empowered with ideas to spread the love of Christ. I can’t wait to go to church the next week to hear what he’s going to say next. He is a very gifted preacher who captives his audience which is 65,000 worldwide per Sunday because it’s streamed all over the world. If I miss a Sunday I watch online during the week and share the message with my friends. I would be missing out if I didn’t tell you about Jason Strand and how much of an impact in the world he is making.
- The messages he gives are Bible based and relate to today’s issues.
- We are incredibly grateful for our pastor’s guidance, wisdom, and compassion, which have made our church a place of love, support, and spiritual growth. We deeply cherish being part of this community and are blessed to call it our home.
- Jason is an incredible pastor who challenges us to be a better version of ourselves through a deep relationship with God. He is humble and shares relevant messages based in scripture. I always leave church with a deeper understanding of God’s message for me.
- Our whole family loves to come to church! You make it very relatable and easy to understand. I also love that our 16 year old will even attend on his own if we’re unable to make it. You’ve made a huge difference within our family
- Jason Strand has taken on the biggest challenge God could give him. He’s the pastor of 14 churches in MN and many online services for people around the world. It is so easy to overlook a pastor of a large church organization because he already gets so much recognition. And although I do not go to the location with him in person, I can only imagine all the work he has to do to uphold the greatness of this church. I am seriously blown away how much this church connects thousands and thousands of people. I feel like I can ask someone to go to church with me and feel like I am bringing them to a church that is relatable, connects me to God, and really grounds my whole week each and every week. Jason and his family deserve to be recognized just as much as any smaller church does! I met him once while when he came swimming with his family at Maple Grove Community Center and I could just tell he was happy to meet me and grateful for my support of EBC.
- Honestly I am never really that good at sharing appreciation, but he deserves it. He’s down to earth, honest and had to take over our church at one of the hardest times. Covid. I would love for him to know how appreciated and seen he is by our church!

What should we do when we’re desperate? Cry out to God! That’s what Jamie MacDonald sings in “Desperate.”
