My job titles keep changing!
Back in December I was the High School Pastor… then I was the High School & College Pastor… then, I don’t know what else…
Then our world flipped upside-down.
Now I’m excited to announce that I’ve accepted a position as Teaching Pastor & Student Ministries Pastor here at Mission!
That means I’ll teach on the main stage at least 25% of the time from here on out, as well as in some other ministries as needed. I’ll also oversee our Student Ministry team, which is led by an amazing group of pastors, interns, volunteers, and one very busy administrative assistant!
When we find our new Lead Pastor, he’ll teach 50% of the time, and we’ll hire another Teaching Pastor soon after he comes on board to cover the other 25%.
This new position is EXACTLY what I was hoping for! Linds and I talked and prayed a ton about whether or not I should apply for the Lead Pastor position, and I was invited by Mission’s leadership to apply if I felt led to do so, but we decided not to. I think that this position gives me the best opportunity to use my gifts, talents and abilities here at Mission. I really feel like I’m stepping into my sweet spot.
It’s been an amazing five years on staff here at Mission, and I truly believe that our best days are ahead of us.
