“The Great Treasure Hunt” is the theme for the daily kids Bible Club at Summit Ridge in Pataskala. Each morning June 24-28 at 10:30 to noon, the Pataskala Seventh Day Baptist Church is hosting a fun time of skits, songs, Bible lessons, crafts, game and snacks! Join Pirate Pete, a treasure seeking pirate and Truly Bell, an angelic fairy who tries to teach him about the true treasures in life. Each day we have been learning a different Bible Verse helping to better appreciate the many treasures God gives us both now and in Heaven.
The Summit Ridge Bible Club is the first of three being held by the church this summer. “The Great Treasure Hunt” will be held again in the evening 7-8:30 pm July 8-12 at JFK park in Reynoldsburg. Then there will be another morning Bible Club with a different theme “God’s Love in Colors” based on the wordless book held at the church in Pataskala July 15-19 10:30-noon. All Bible Clubs are open for kids ages 4-12.
Continuing the sermon series from I John, Pastor Robert’s sermon on June 22, 2019 was titled “The Anti-Christ” and was based on I John 2:18-23.
Welcome to our sermons by Pastor Robert Van Horn of the Seventh Day Baptist Church of Pataskala. These sermons are also available directly from 
At this time, Pastor Robert is continuing in his role as our Pastor throughout the summer, with an indefinite retirement date sometime before the end of October 2019. In January a Pastoral Search Committee was appointed consisting of Chip Thorngate, Darwin Van Horn, Dean Fox, Marissa Patterson, and Christopher Van Horn. This committee has been revising & preparing a job description for the new Pastor as well as beginning the process for identifying and selecting potential candidates. As a church we have already begun praying for the right person to become our new Pastor. (If there is a time gap between when Pastor Robert leaves and a new Pastor is selected, the Deacons will have the responsibility for arranging coverage of the weekly worship service.)
Pastor Robert has certainly left his mark on the many lives he has touched through baptisms, teaching Sabbath School, Camp Joy staff & board member, special music and drama, hospital visits, baby dedications, children’s stories, workshops, leading praise time, youth retreats, sermons and more. One area most appreciated about Pastor Robert are the many times he has dropped other things just to help someone out — from a flat tire to moving a piano! Another way we have been blessed through the years is Pastor Robert’s ability to bring people together over a meal, whether grilling out, hosting a banquet, holding a seder, enjoying a church potluck, or inviting people into their home.
Yes, we will miss Pastor Robert Van Horn & Lana as our church’s Pastor and wife. We wish them many years of enjoyable retirement as they continue to serve God in a different way. We are also excited & hopeful to see who God will lead to become our new Pastor, Shepherd, Teacher, and Friend.
