College Students

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

What I love about interacting with college students is that they are growing and changing and learning.  We are blessed this semester to have the chance to have several college students around BRBC.  I’m encouraged as I spend time with them and see their desire to know and please God.  I’m also grateful to pastor a church where all ages genuinely enjoy and appreciate the other generations.  It’s going to be fun to see what God does with our developing college ministry.  We don’t want to manufacture a college ministry but to let God shape the ministry and use the personalities of the students He’s brought to make our college ministry what He wants it to be.  

If you’re a student and would like to let me know what a pastor/church can do to make a real difference please let me know- I’d love your input.

5 Years

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Today was my fifth year anniversary at BRBC.  I can still remember vividly my first few weeks at BRBC.  I remember my first meetings with different leaders.  I remember how Allen Dorr personally took me around to meet many of our members and show me where they live.  When I think back I have fond memories of those days.  I remember clearly when my office was in the music office and God leading me to Jeremiah 17:7-8.  That picture of living a life completely confident in the Lord is still my vision for the church five years later.  I have learned so much over these years and I hope and pray they have been a blessing to the members of BRBC.  What I hope for our church today is really no different than five years ago.  I trust and believe that God is at work and that His Spirit will move among us this fall in an awesome way. For every member I hope you will join me in making this the best year we have ever had.  I hope you will share your passion for the Lord and worship Him as you’ve never done before.  I love each of you and thank you for allowing me to serve as your pastor.
