This past Sunday was another landmark in the journey of Gulf Coast Worship Center. Our Lead Pastor Jay West announced that he and Stacey were in a time of transition from Gulf Coast to another endeavor of ministry. It's times like these when questions arise in the hearts and minds of people who are involved. As a staff pastor who has served with Jay for 7 years, it is both sad and exciting. It's an opportunity for a family legacy to be carried on for them, yet a time of self-evaluation for all involved. They will be missed! But what does all this mean? For the next few months, it is my goal to just walk through my journey here as things unfold and become more clear. For now, here are a few thoughts...
- Grace and love must be our driving values. After all this is what Jesus' life was all about and the very reason He established the church in the first place.
- Prayer is vital. We must pray that God's will is done for Jay and Stacey, Gulf Coast, as well as Kingwood Church.
- Unity is essential. What excites me about Gulf Coast is that we have a unified staff and board, and a great congregation who I believe will rise up and continue to see God's vision become a reality here on the coast.
Updates as they unfold...
