Our Mission:
To love and lead people in a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
Our history
While Keystone Church is rich with history, we have chosen to share only a few of the
highlights here.
December 1991, Keystone was established by Pastor Steve O’Dell, his wife and their young son as a Bible study in their home. Keystone grew steadily from a family of three to a congregation of close to 70 people by 1993. In November of 1994, Keystone became a fully established Wesleyan Church in the East Michigan District of the Wesleyan Church. For those first years, Keystone met in various schools and buildings around Saline.
In January 2000, 7.5 acres of land on Saline Waterworks Rd. was purchased with cash
and construction began on our new facility. Keystone’s building was officially opened on April 14, 2002 and we ended the year with an average attendance of 215. Over the next several years Keystone’s average attendance grew to over 600.
In February 2019, Keystone launched the ReOrient Campaign to raise 2.5 million
dollars to help expand the facility, creating space for expanded seating, discipleship
classrooms, and dedicated rooms for our Special Needs Ministry. In May 2022, we completed the ReOrient building expansion and renovation. The building was dedicated on September 25, 2022.
On June 19, 2023, Pastors Mike and Nicole Wiencek became the new co-lead pastors of Keystone. God has been blessing us with many people coming to faith in Christ and we are excited to see what he has for us next.

What we believe
- We believe in one God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—who is the creator and sustainer of all things. We believe Jesus is God’s one and only Son and the Savior of the world. We believe the Holy Spirit lives within every follower of Jesus and equips each follower for ministry.
- We believe the Bible is the inerrant and inspired Word of God and the final authority for all matters of faith and living.
- We believe every person has sinned and needs the salvation Jesus offers. We believe salvation comes by grace through faith in Jesus. We believe each person makes the choice to follow Jesus or not.
- We believe death seals the eternal destiny of each person. The saved will inherit eternal life and the unsaved will experience eternal separation from God.
