Arlington Believers Church

Today I announced the closing of Arlington Believers Church.  The reasons were many but the core of it was the fact that I loved this congregation and wanted what was best for them.  I honestly believe that they will be better served at another church.  It was a very sad day for me but I know I will always look back at this time with a great deal of affection and will always be thankful that God allowed me this season to speak into their lives.  I want to take the opportunity to thank everyone who worked so hard over the years to make this church work. 

Dian – My loving wife, I am so grateful that you stood by me and supported me while I fulfilled my calling of being a Pastor.  Thank you for all the hours you invested in this church.

Josh – Thank you for your faithfulness.  A more devoted son than I deserve.

Matthew – Thank you for sticking it out with me and enduring.

P.J. – I have loved watching you grow into the responsible, mature man you are today.  Thank you for taking your commitment to Christ so seriously.

Bryan – My worship leader, week in and week out.  You were incredibly dependable and so faithful to use your talents in service to the Kingdom.  I have loved watching you wrestle with the truths of Scripture and grow in your knowledge and understanding.

Michal – You are beautiful through and through.  Such a gentle heart and loving spirit, I love you like a daughter.

David – You went to the Marines and kept your faith, I doubt I could say anything that could add to that impressive accomplishment.  Thank you for your faithfulness and willingness to learn.

Thank you all for what you have done.  I loved being your Pastor and watching how you all matured.  Continue in the faith and plant yourselves in a new church quickly.  I love you all with the heart of a Pastor, friend, and father.
