About four years ago, God called Danielle and I to Keystone Fellowship outside of Philadelphia, PA to be the Student Ministries Pastor where I oversaw students in 6-12th grade. The past few years at Keystone have been some of my favorite years of ministry that I've ever had. I've had the privilege of seeing students surrender their lives to Christ, baptizing more students than I ever have before, making incredible relationships with students and leaders, having a ton of fun, and seeing God grow in Danielle and my own life. God has taught Danielle and I continually through our time at Keystone. Despite these past few years being some of our hardest years of ministry, we are so thankful for all that God has done in us and through us and we would not trade it for anything.
However, it is with sad hearts that we share that God has released us from our calling to Keystone. We have loved our time at Keystone and the family that we have created while we have been here. They have grown with us and helped us go through some of the toughest times of our lives. Though we are sad to leave, it is with excited hearts that we also announce that I have accepted the position as Middle School Pastor at Oak Pointe Church in Novi, MI!
Danielle and I are so excited to go to Oak Pointe and see all that God wants to do in this next phase of our lives. About three months ago, Oak Pointe called me to discuss the position and the possibility of coming back to Michigan. Over the past few months, we have spent significant time in prayer, fasting and listening for God's voice on what His desire and will is for us. We know completely that God has called us to Oak Pointe and God has confirmed that for us again and again.
We will be moving in the beginning of August to Michigan with a planned start at Oak Pointe in mid August. Please pray for Keystone during this transition as they seek to find a new youth pastor and for Danielle and I as we seek to sell our home. While this was not something that we expected to happen, Danielle and I have always committed to doing whatever God calls us to do, whenever God calls us to do it, wherever God calls to us go. Therefore, when God clearly called us to Oak Pointe we said yes.
Thank you for your continued support of our ministry at Keystone over these past few years and we look forward to sharing with you all that God is going to do in our ministry at Oak Pointe!
