My new role

I am so excited about my new role as Middle School Pastor at Fairhaven Church. This is not "just a next step for me." This is pretty much my dream job! I love sharing Jesus with middle school students. Being a Middle School Pastor frees me up to do just that. It is a great honor and privilege to be Middle School Pastor. I am thankful to God for bringing me here. I am also thankful to Kevin for inviting me into serving in this ministry, mentoring me, and then "passing the torch to me."

What's even better than being a Middle School Pastor is being in that role at Fairhaven Church. It's not even the size of the church, or the other people on staff that make us all more effective (web, printing, video, etc.), or that our church is doing well financially, or that it is somewhat prestigious to be on staff here, or that the building is getting bigger. What makes Fairhaven Church such an awesome place to serve God is the people and the atmosphere they create. I am free to be myself and to try to be creative and that is so important to me. I am being stretched and having a blast! I feel loved and encouraged by the staff and people at this church. I just simply "fit" here. I am thankful that God has brought me here. It is my hope that everyone who comes through the doors would feel the same way. I look forward to seeing what God is going to do in the lives of people in days ahead! He is definitely working!
