I'm two years into my professional ministry - and I'm striving to live out that calling. (You can read about my calling here.) This blog is my perspective on life as a pastor.
In my current position I am an Associate Pastor. I know this doesn't tell you a lot about me or my job so let me go into more detail. I preach, teach, serve communion and baptize, provide pastoral care and insights, and "administrate." I "specialize" in nothing and everything! I work with two fantastic groups of youth (6th-12th grade), I serve the young adults inside and outside of our church, I am a sound tech, and a computer wiz. I communicate to the community our activities, and I advocate for the youth and the ministry they provide. I serve as a role model for all ages, as a listener.
What I ultimately hope to do is inspire and encourage
people to live out their belief of Jesus Christ.
Call me naive and idealistic. I believe this is my calling.
I'm still learning what it means to do this in the role of a pastor. I mess up and make a lot of mistakes. I don't claim to know it all. But I do try to learn and reflect on my life and experiences - and this blog is where I do it.
I hope that you find something inspiring by reading my blog.
