Love of God Family Church History



In September of 2007, several families started a Bible Study at a home in the country near Elbow Lake, Minnesota. One of the youngest members of the Bible Study named it, “God Loves Me” Bible Study. After only a few weeks, we knew the Lord wanted us to start a church.


Love of God Family Church started in the Community Building in Wendell, Minnesota. For one year, we met Sunday mornings, took turns bringing lunch, and played games in the afternoon.


In October of 2008, the Lord called us to Fergus Falls. The Salvation Army graciously allowed us to rent their church building, Sunday evenings.


In July of 2018, we moved to our new location - 829 N. Tower Road in Fergus Falls and now have our Sunday Service at 11:00am


In May of 2009, the Lord miraculously opened the door of our radio program on KBRF 1250AM Sunday mornings at 7:30am.


In 2010, Tom was ordained into the ministry and joined Pastor Maggie in pastoring Love of God Family Church.


In 2018, John was ordained into the ministry and joined Pastor Maggie and Tom in pastoring the Church.


In 2019, Kelly was ordained into the ministry and joined Pastor Maggie, Tom, and John in pastoring the Church.



Pastors Maggie and Tom





Rededicated their lives together in 1983, and in their walk with the Lord, they entered into the faith message and full-time ministry.

They’ve lived in Elbow Lake since 1986 where they’ve homeschooled their 3 children Kelly, John, and Natalie. Kelly, John, and Natalie Aul serve in full-time ministry along with their parents.

Tom has been the principal and high school teacher at Destiny Academy since 1997 and is now substitute teaching at many different schools around the area.





“Believing that serving the Lord is a blessing, no one at our church receives any money, not even the pastors. Because of this, we’ve been able to give in abundance, for the very heart of love is giving. Our dream has always been to have our family in ministry together and God has greatly answered our prayer.”





What We Believe



-We believe in one God-Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Creator of all things.
-We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified, died, was buried, was resurrected, ascended into heaven, and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father and is true God and true man.
-We believe the Bible in its entirety to be the inspired Word of God and the infallible rule of faith and conduct.
-We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the eternal happiness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost.
-We believe in personal salvation of believers through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
-We believe in sanctification through the Word of God and by the Holy Spirit, and we believe in personal holiness, purity of heart and life.
-We believe in divine healing, through faith in the Name of Jesus Christ, and that healing is included in the Redemption.
-We believe in water baptism, in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit as distinct from the New Birth, in speaking with tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance (Acts 2:4), in the gifts of the Spirit, and the evidence of the fruit of the Spirit.
-We believe that all of these are available to believers.
-We believe in the Christian's hope-the soon-coming, personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
