Pastors & Leaders 

Jason Best

Lead Pastor

Jason Best is the lead pastor at Community Worship Center and has been serving as pastor since 2007.   He has three sons and lives in Rutledge, MN.
It is his passion to see the Body of Christ understand who they are in Christ to live the abundant life that is available to each one. 

Gene Best

Pastor 

Pastor Gene was born and raised in Sandstone, Minnesota.  Even at a young age the seeds of musical greatness began to influence the direction of his life.  By 2008 he was honored to be inducted into the Mid America Music Hall of Fame.  But even more powerful than his passion for music was a new found relationship with Jesus Christ.  This literally turned his life around and by 1968 Gene enrolled in Mid America  Nazarene University, graduating in 1972 with a major in Religious Studies.
 Following graduation, Gene returned to Sandstone where he and his long time friend and mentor in the Lord, Sam Burch, laid the foundations to what was to Become ‘Community Worship Center.’
          Today, Gene rejoices in the fact that he is seeing an unfolding of the glorious plans God originally promised.  Gene is one of the many faithful who have put their hands to the plow and never looked back.
