New Beginnings

This morning I stepped into a new experience of ministry at Discover Church in Brooklyn Park, MN.  Discover Church (formerly Brooklyn Park Lutheran) is a two site church, with its main campus in Brooklyn Park and a second worshipping site at the Mann Theatre in Champlin. 

I will be serving part-time as their pastoral care minister, doing some teaching, preaching, and visitation.  The staff at Discover is awesome and inspiring to be a part of in ministry. God has richly blessed this congregation and its commitment to outreach. 

As difficult as it is to say farewell to the many wonderful people of God at Maple Grove Lutheran, I will be experiencing a wave of welcomes and opportunities at Discover.

I hope this will be a time of healing and refreshment for me in ministry before I begin a new full-time call as a senior or solo pastor in the Mpls. area.  

God is good.
