Located near the shores of Lake Michigan, Crystal Lake Church serves the communities of Frankfort, Elberta, Beulah and Benzonia, MI.
Whether you're a life-long Michigander, new to the area, or just visiting, you'll find a warm, welcoming, and biblical teaching congregation.
Pastor Tyler Anderson reflects on the one-year anniversary of Crystal Lake Church’s building fire, emphasizing that the church lost a building but not its calling, and urging the congregation to keep going because God is still at work. Using Acts 18, he highlights four lessons: God uses ordinary people and everyday places; opposition or rejection shouldn’t stop gospel witness; courage comes from God’s presence and promises; and believers should follow God’s lead without seeing the whole plan. He calls the church to love neighbors, build relationships, and share Jesus naturally.

Acts 17:16-34 - Truth in a World of Opinions
Pastor Tyler Anderson contrasts everyday debates and personal preferences with the life-changing truth claims of Christianity, arguing that opinions about God are not automatically true. Teaching from Acts 17, he describes Paul’s response to idol-filled Athens: being provoked by what broke God’s heart, reasoning daily in the synagogue and marketplace, and engaging Epicurean and Stoic philosophers while still preaching “Jesus and the resurrection.” Anderson highlights four applications: let spiritual need move you to action, meet people where they are without changing the message, proclaim truth and call for repentance in light of God’s coming judgment through the risen Jesus, and remain faithful regardless of mixed responses. He challenges the church to identify one person, take a practical next step to point them to Jesus, and pray for boldness to share the gospel in the community.

Acts 17:1-15 - Turning the World Upside Down
Pastor Tyler Anderson challenges Crystal Lake Church to live in a way that makes the community notice Jesus, emphasizing that Christianity must shape everyday life beyond Sunday. Teaching from Acts 17:1–15, he highlights four responses for “turning the world upside down”: keep pointing people to Jesus; don’t be surprised when the gospel meets opposition; receive the word eagerly while examining the Scriptures daily; and keep making disciples even when plans change.
