From the Pastor
When I first arrived in this collective assignment, I did not know what God was going to do with me. Honestly, I was attempting to recover from the disappointments of attempting to do Kingdom work. For over 20 years, I have given my life to see the will of God performed in the lives of people. I have traveled to different parts of the world preaching and teaching the Gospel. I have witnessed healing and deliverance happen for people in a variety of ways. I have baptized people. I have counseled and prayed with people. I have witnessed the joys of new life and walked with many through the complexity of death. Yet, this moment is the greatest opportunity ever for the work of God to be completed.
Personally, I have shed many tears attempting to understand this season. The execution of real ministry can bring many challenges that we are not readily prepared to address. I have witnessed the dynamics of my life change significantly. I have watched God show me that full dependency on the Creator will aid in navigating the difficult spaces of my own spirituality and practice. By the end of this establishing season of new pillars, I will be in the midst of my 25th year of ministry. With all these moments of challenge and change, I know that this season is and will be the greatest experience of ministry to this point.
We have endured the acute shock of a pandemic. We have seen the fervor and ignition of a refaced civil rights movement. People have witnessed their preconceived notions of life destroyed. The emotions of all people are scattered. The organization of the church has been thoroughly challenged to meet the standards of the true and living Christ. Divisions have grown deeper. Divides have grown into chasms. But I believe this moment is still the greatest moment for ministry.
The time has come for us to stop waiting for the utopian ideas of Heaven to manifest by spiritual osmosis. Welcome to a new season of reimagining the church. Let us go and grow forward being the church!
