Who We Are

Pocono Lake Bible Church exists to connect people to Jesus Christ by:
• loving God through worship
• loving each other through fellowship
• loving the Word of God through discipleship
• loving those in need through ministry
• loving the world through evangelism and missions

At Pocono Lake Bible Church, we want to help you understand how to experience God’s peace through faith in Jesus Christ. We invite you to join us as fellow learners on the path of understanding.

Pastor Randy Gaumer

Pastor Randy and His wife Deb listened to the Lord’s leading when he called them to shepherd a small church in the Poconos. God blessed that obedience and that small church has grown and is seeking to have an impact on the Pocono Lake and the surrounding communities for Christ. Pastor Randy has 30 plus years of pastoral experience and has recently served as the Director at Spruce Lake Retreat—a Christian retreat and camp. Pastor Randy is passionate about teaching the Word of God and helping others know more about Christ, whether that be someone who has known Christ for a lifetime or is just starting out in their faith journey.

Statement of Faith

Our purpose statement: To make fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

  • 1. The inerrant, verbal inspiration of the Bible.
    2. God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
    3. Concerning Jesus Christ: His eternal deity; His virgin birth; His sinless humanity; His substitutionary death; His bodily resurrection; His imminent, premillennial return.

  • Man and the universe are the sovereign creation of God.

  • To glorify God in all that I say and do.

  • Eternal life is offered to all who personally believe that Christ’s death on the cross for sin is totally sufficient to give us access to Heaven.
    Eternal separation from God in Hell awaits all who reject His free gift of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
