God has been gracious and kind to our congregation since its launch in 2017. But the past several years have not been easy. The pandemic, political tensions, building acquisition, diocesan transition, and rapid growth have put us in an ongoing state of adaptation and change. It has been quite an adventure! After several months of discussion as staff and Parish Council, we believe that God is calling us to pause and enter into a season of intentional listening so that we might discern what he has for us next.
Christ the Lord is risen today!

In light of the increased ministry needs of our congregation, the Parish Council has approved the addition of another full time pastoral role: Pastor of Community Life. This person will cultivate robust ministries for welcoming newcomers, connecting attenders to various parts of church life, and developing the small group ministry.
I have been to many conferences, retreats, etc. in my life; usually I leave each of these with a head full of new information, pages and pages of notes, and an overall sense that I will never have enough time to do anything with all that I’ve “learned.” This recent Mathew 25 Gathering was refreshingly different.
