A few days ago I shared across my social media accounts that I have concluded my role as Executive Pastor at Flat Creek Baptist Church. It was not an easy decision, but one we believe aligns with God’s will for our lives and the church.
Oh my word…thank you, thank you, thank you for the birthday wishes. What a difference a year can make!
