The cats out of the bag!

So you want to know how we are stepping out in faith?  Well, this morning I introduced Jim Hewitt and his wife Rachel.  We recently hired Jim as our intern church planter.  He and Rachel will be starting a church early in 2009 in the Greenbrier area.  We are so excited to have Jim join [...]

Staff Retreat Insights

I’m having an awesome time with our staff!  They are an amazing group of guys.  For most of the day we have been dreaming about God’s plan for Sonlight in this upcoming year.  I’m so excited about what God is going to do and the ways we are going to step out and risk it [...]

Our Staff Team is Growing

We are so blessed that our children’s ministry team leader, Val Campbell, has agreed to join our church staff beginning in September!  It’s going to be great to have her passion for the kids continue to grow as she gets more time to pray, plan and develop our children’s ministry.  It’s going to be cool to add her personality [...]

Make Us Passionate!

This week we are beginning our “One Prayer” series.  My prayer for our church and all churches around the world is that God would make us passionate in our relationship with Him.  Honestly, I’m getting sick and tired of seeing people involved in religion and just going through life with no real meaningful passion.  When [...]

Amazing Weekend!

One Down, Three to go!

Today, with the help of a generous gift, we were able to get rid of our car loan.  For the past two years we have been making double payments and for the past few months we have been trying to focus our efforts to once again get debt free.  We know that to be outrageously [...]
