Transition

Ministry + Family update

IMG_2595.jpg

My family and I have been so blessed over the years with people near and far who love us and pray for our ministry. I wanted to give you an update on our future and what’s to come for us in the days ahead. This past Sunday, I shared with our church family that I have accepted the call to become the Lead Teaching Pastor at The Bridge Church in Venice, Florida.

It has truly been an incredible blessing to be a part of Chets Creek Church and see the North Campus planted and growing. We have watched God transform lives and people find hope in Jesus! And while we are going to miss our Chets family greatly, we know that God is calling us onward to join the work He is doing at The Bridge!

My last Sunday preaching at Chets Creek North will be March 15.

Will you join us in praying for a few things?

  • Pray for the North Campus. For the church to grow and continue the mission to reach more people for Jesus!

  • Pray for everything to go smoothly with selling our home (we went under contract three days after listing!)

  • Pray for us as we search for a new place to live in the Venice area.

  • Pray for The Bridge and for God to bless this ministry to be all that He wants it to be!

We love you all and are very grateful for your prayers in the days ahead!

New Ministry!

It has been a long time since I've blogged! Life has been very busy lately. My time in Jacksonville has come to an end. Cassidy and I have enjoyed our time and ministry and we'll miss the adults and students we have grown close to over the past two and half years. We have transitioned to lead the student ministry at First Baptist Church of Ashford, Alabama. God has blessed beyond what I deserve to be able to serve in ministry.

Transitions are hard. Life is about relationships and it was difficult to leave so many people that have impacted my life and taught me so much. I know that God is in control and has a specific plan and calling for each person's life. We are excited for what God has ahead for us and the ministry that He has called us to lead. I've been reminded lately of the journey of life in following Christ. I'm simply moving on to serve God and impact as many people as I can for eternity before I go to be with Him in Heaven.

Here are two verses that encourage and focus my heart on life and transition:

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6
