Last week our high school pastor at Christ Community resigned. This has left a hole in the high school ministry, and the board has asked if I'd be willing to step in for a time being as the church searches for a new pastor. I've agreed. In fact, I couldn't say no. I love the student ministries too leave while it's hurting.
This does not mean that the church plant will slow down. CCC originally agreed to let me go full time planting starting September 15. It now looks like it's possible I will go 50/50 with my time beginning then, until the transition takes place.
It's all good. There are many pastors who start new churches in a 'bi-vocational' role - working somewhere else while they start a church. With Jim Warren's help, we feel we can still get Journey Church started in a reasonable time. But pray for us! We don't want to short change either the high school ministry or the church start.
