After almost 3 1/2 years at Cornerstone Church in Boone, Iowa, we will soon be saying our goodbyes and beginning a new ministry at a church in Minnesota. While this may seem sudden and out of the blue, it isn't for us. Jeff has been wrestling with this since summer.
Over the past couple of years, we have come to love the people and the ministry here in Boone. We have seen so much growth, in attendance as well as spiritual growth. While we will miss everyone, we know that God is preparing a very special person to take over the ministry here; a person that has the gifts and talents needed to take this church to the next level. Jeff's last day at Cornerstone will be January 31st. He will go ahead of Josh and I as we stay behind to get the house sold.
We will be moving to Watertown, Minnesota to pastor a small church. Watertown is a bedroom community of about 5000 people and located in the far western metro area of the Twin Cities. It is about 10 minutes from Crown College. Most of the small, re-development churches that we go into have an older congregation and Jeff and I are the "youth". Not so in Watertown...Jeff and I will be some of the oldest people there. This is a very young congregation with LOTS of children.
I will be sharing more about these changes in our lives in future posts.
