SENIOR PASTOR

Jamie Geiger

Deeply Grateful

"I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you, because of your sharing in the gospel from the first day until now. I am confident of this, that the One who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ."
- Philippians 1:3-6

Like the apostle Paul, I want you to know my deep gratitude to this congregation. You have blessed our family with your care and support. It's hard to believe that ten years have gone by since our first coming to this wonderful church and vibrant community. I find myself remembering those opening days of meeting the staff and getting settled in. Learning names (and mispronouncing them as well) and faces came at its own pace, and sometimes too slowly. Picking up on the history and heart of this congregation helped to set an agenda for these years of ministry. Working with talented leaders and members of this church has been a joy and a gift as your pastor. In the midst of those beginnings, we have come to form bonds of friendship and ministry and growth as God's people. Because of your openness, prayers, support, and willing engagement in this shared ministry, much has been accomplished for the gospel of Christ and much is ahead for this church beyond the transition of pastors.

The French poet, Paul Valery, writes: "Every beginning is a consequence. Every beginning ends something." That was true when we first arrived here from another church and continues to be so as we now leave for Gary Memorial Church in Wheaton, IL. With new leadership will come new relationships and opportunbitites to grow in new directions, and I will continue to keep you in my prayers and trust God's ongoing faithfulness to continue His good works in our lives and churches.

So, my deep gratitude and appreciation for all you are, all you have been, and all you will become. May you move toward your new beginning with Pastors Steve and Jamie Hanna Williams with enthusiasm while listening for God's purpose for this wonderful church and its future ministry.

Gratefully Yours ,

Rev. Jamie Geiger
