It’s hard to believe, but today was my last day at Union Presbyterian Church.

It’s been a good three and (almost) a half years. In my time at Union, I’ve grown as a pastor. As a leader. As a preacher. And as a servant of God.

I’ve learned to trust God through difficult times. To relax and enjoy the good times. And to push through the challenging times.

This has been a place for me to meet new people. New friends. New colleagues. New mentors.

Though Union is 2000 miles from what we think of as home (Southern California), I’ve never doubted that this was the place to which God called us. This is where God wanted us to be during this season of our life. And God has used this place to shape me and sharpen me.

And now it’s time to go on to the next thing.

In two months, I’ll become the pastor of Northminster Presbyterian Church in San Diego. Robin and I are happy to be going back to Southern California. Close to friends. Close to family. Close to the beach!

I’m excited about where God is leading us next. I’m excited to be a part of what God is doing at Northminster and in San Diego.

I just want to go where God goes. So far, I’ve only experienced the beginning of that journey. The next stage of the journey starts … now.
