The Divine Servant

Commissioned by artist Max Greiner, Jr., of Kerrville, TX, this 1500 lb. + bronze statue was cast in Lander, WY by Eagle Bronze. Pastor Clem and Greg Tindol, drove a truck and a trailer to Wyoming to haul the bronze statue back to Illinois the at end of June, 2004.

The statue was donated anonymously by a family who attends the church, and has been temporarily placed at the office site of the church on Bronk Road until our new building is built on the corner of Rolf Road and Rt. 59.

The Divine Servant models the service motto of the leadership of the church: “Lead by serving.” The permanent display at the building site will have a water feature so people may imitate Jesus and wash each other’s feet in an expression of humility and honor.

The public is encouraged to come to the meditation garden at the front of the property. The 105% size depiction of Jesus washing Peter’s feet is gripping. All who come and sit a while will understand more graphically what the Savior meant when He said, “Even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and give His life in exchange for the lives of many.”
