Getting to Know You

Zach and I went to dinner last night with our new pastor, Nathan, and his wife Heather. It was a wonderful evening of fellowship. He really shared his heart for our church and his desire to see it grow. He also told us about the challenges he has faced since being called to this pastorate. His philosophy of ministry and that of the congregation are pretty different, but he believes that with time and strong teaching the Lord will change the hearts and minds of his flock. We are thankful to have found a pastor so committed to preaching God's Word, who believes that God's Word is sufficient for all our needs and will not return empty without accomplishing what He desires (Isaiah 55:11). He is not concerned with the latest fads for growing your church, as so many Baptist churches of our experience have been, but trusts God's sovereignty.
