Called to Lead: Our New Journey at Grace Community Covenant Church

We’re DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE Sarah and I have accepted my call as Lead Pastor at Grace Community Covenant Church in Olympia, Washington!!!

Many are aware we’ve been preparing to lead a community toward a clear vision of what God accomplished in Jesus’s resurrection from the dead and how this hope should shape our mission as the Body of Christ. Grace has affirmed this vision with a special interest in accomplishing this calling in the very secular milieu of Washington’s capital city and surrounding areas.

We’re excited about the highly relational, intergenerational strength at Grace, which I’m convinced will be a significant part of what defines the Church in generations to come.

We will start on January 1st after we finish the project in Oxford and enjoy an anticipated season of “deep rest” through the holiday season (Nov-Dec).

We couldn’t be more excited to begin the summer season of our ministry in a community so deeply committed to the mission of God manifest in massive local and foreign missions giving, a thriving small groups movement, and a special passion for sustaining momentum in the generations now and to come.

We are so deeply thankful for all who have supported us through the errand in Oxford anticipating an important calling in the seasons to follow. Prayers appreciated as we aim for the strong finish in Oxford before the good start in Olympia!
