Here comes some big news in the world of Lindsay and Ryan: we’re heading back to Arizona next month 🙂
It was a very difficult decision to leave our church here in California, but we know that it is the right one.
We’re headed to Superstition Springs Community Church (soon to be Mission Community Church), where I will lead the Student Ministries team and focus most of my attention on the High School Ministry.
I wasn’t looking to leave Calvary, but when the invitation came to join the staff at SSCC we had to say yes. SSCC has been a really special place for Lindsay and I for a few years now. I was meeting with the lead pastor there to offer my time as a volunteer even while I was on staff at Cornerstone- I just loved it there. And Lindsay just glows when she’s there, and I like it when Lindsay glows.
Our time at Calvary has been so good. We love the staff and students so much, and saying goodbye to them will be no easy thing. God is doing amazing things at Calvary, and we were honored to be a part of it!
Please pray for the Calvary staff as they figure out what the next move is. The High School team at Calvary is in VERY good hands with Melissa Brosch at the wheel. And please pray for us as we move back to Arizona in the middle of the summer… yuck.

Dude Ryan this is sooooo sick!!! Just promise you’ll come to visit every once in a while! 🙂 This is sorta like a dream come true for you too, working at one of those special churches in your heart (one of the other being Cornerstone of course…. haha 🙂 )
