I have been working at Superstition Springs Community Church for about 3 months now as the 5th and 6th grade Director. I have loved being on staff at a place with such dynamic people and dynamic leaders. Over the past 3 months I have grown a lot as a person and as a leader in a ministry position.  I came into this job knowing that there was a great team of leaders in place, and knowing that I would like to be on staff at a place like this for an extended period of time. What I didn’t expect was that God would be opening the doors up for me to move into a new position so quickly. BUT…

He did. I am now the new Jr. High Pastor at SSCC (soon to be MissionCommunityChurch)!!! I have this overwhelming sense of gratitude and excitement to be in this position, and… I also have this feeling of timidity and anxiety. The job of leading students can be challenging at times, frustrating, and taxing, but the payoff is so much greater than any of those things. I get to teach students about Jesus!!! I get to develop relationships with students and leaders that will hopefully turn out to be lifelong relationships. I get to see students make some seriously big decisions in their lives, and hopefully steer them in a different direction than I did.  I love this job. This is what I was created to do.
