Praying for God's glory to shine through our church!

Since we launched in March as a replant with the Calvary Family of Churches, Larry Annes and I have been diligently praying that God would send us a young family to join us in our vision to make Jesus non-ignorable in Beaverton and to the ends of the earth.  A family to help us as we learn to worship God passionately, connect with one another authentically, grow to know God deeply and to go, show and tell the gospel boldly.  

After months of prayer and dialogue with several individuals, we believe God has answered our prayer and provided us with a unique opportunity to hire an Associate Pastor with the ability to lead our Sunday worship, preach occasionally, teach/lead Bible studies and build bridges between Calvary Parkside and our community.  I shared about this opportunity last Sunday during our Calvary Parkside Fall Update.  Larry and I are excited to introduce you to the Everett family.

James Everett, his wife Ali, and their 3 young kids have spent the last 4 years church planting in Bangladesh.  Prior to that, they served God for 2 years doing campus ministry.  Now, they are excited to serve the Lord in the local church.  James is passionate about God's Word, singing, developing music teams to enhance Sunday morning worship services and writing.  Ali is also a gifted singer and passionate about children's ministry.  Together, they want to make the goodness of God known to everyone.

You will have the opportunity to meet James on Sunday October 1st.  Until then, please continue to pray for God's discernment and direction for our church. 

Praying for God's glory to shine through our church!
