although i'm revealing this a little sooner than expected, there is a big change happening in the life of my family right now. this week, i transitioned off the leadership team at waters edge church. over the next couple of weeks, we will be making a move to atlanta, ga. where i have accepted a position at browns bridge community church.
this change is a little bittersweet for us. we have been blessed to be a part of what God is doing at waters edge and are grateful for our time here. i served with a great staff and had the privilege of leading some of the most amazing volunteers i've ever met. we love and appreciate each of them, and we will miss them.
but, at the same time, we are immensely excited about joining the team at browns bridge! i am humbled to be joining such an amazing team of leaders, working to accomplish the greatest mission on the planet... leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus.
browns bridge is one of three campuses of north point ministries in the atlanta area. the other two are north point community church and buckhead church.
my position at browns bridge will be director of guest services. i'll be a part of the ministry services team, led by my good friend casey ross. i'll explain a little more of what my specific role means in a later post.
for now, we will be wrapping things up in virginia to begin making our transition to atlanta. we would greatly appreciate your prayers as we begin working through the details of the move. i will post updates as often as possible on this blog, and more frequent updates via twitter.
welcome to atlanta, where the players play...
don't drink the "move to cumming, ga" kool-aid, haha...
