We invite you to experience Pentecost with us. Bible-based preaching, vibrant worship, and a church family that serves every stage of life. Come as you are — we'll save you a seat.
Never been to a Pentecostal church?
No pressure, no spotlight, no dress code. Here's honestly what Sunday looks like.
You'll see suits and you'll see jeans. Nobody's checking. Wear what you're comfortable in — we're glad you came.
Heartfelt worship, preaching straight from the Bible, and time for prayer. Our services are Spirit-led — come expecting God to move.
Kids are part of the family here. Sunday School runs at 10:00, and there's a safe, staffed space for little ones during service.
Who we are
Jared and Stacey Kemmis have called Watertown home since 2013, serving Jesus Church first as youth pastors, then as associate pastors, and — since November 2021 — as Senior Pastor. High school sweethearts and parents to three, they graduated from North Dakota State University before answering the call to Watertown.
You'll often find them connecting with people from both the church and the community. It's their passion to see the Word of God find its way into the heart of every hungry person around them.
We preach one God named Jesus, holiness, separation from the world, and the Acts 2:38 message. We preach God's plan and purpose for our lives, found in the Bible — the inspired Word of God.
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38 — KJVRead Pastor Jared's full story
