Welcome to Moose Jaw Church of God Podcast where you can listen to our weekly messages.

OUR MISSION: 
To love God and people passionately; to lead people to Christ; To equip them for His purpose and mobilize them for His service (Matthew 22:37-39; 28:19).

OUR LEAD PASTORS:  
LARRY & CONNIE HASMATALI

Larry is a respected and gifted minister of the gospel holding two leadership positions within the Church of God. In 1996, he became the lead pastor of the COG-MJ. In 2012, he was also appointed as Administrative Bishop for the Church of God in Western Canada. He serves in both of these roles with great devotion and passion for leadership development and church growth.

Larry and his wife, Connie, have made their home in Moose Jaw since 1986. They have a son, Brandon, and a daughter, Maddison, who are living and working in Saskatoon and Edmonton.

*"Since COG-MJ began with a radio program back in 1943, it has been marked by generosity, innovation, vision and empowerment.  We're grateful for those who went before us so that we could be where we are today. We see a church full of people who generously give themselves to be innovative in proclaiming the hope of the gospel with a vision that is far beyond what we alone can accomplish. It’s a vision that can only be brought about by God Himself as He empowers each of us by His Spirit to serve the people in our community. We believe the best years are still yet to come and we hope you will journey forward with us as we follow Christ’s lead."* - Pastor Larry
