While I’m sure it will take me a while to get used to it, it’s now official that I will need to learn to respond to the title of “pastor Matt.” This past Sunday, June 1st, the congregation of the Richmond Church of the Brethren finalized the process of calling me to be their next pastor. It has been a process that began nearly 9 months ago for the church and that I have been involved in as a potential candidate for the past 3 months.
In the end I feel that the church is going to be a wonderful place for me to be the pastor, and will provide me with great opportunities to continue to learn and grow as a ministering person. Don’t expect any revealing posts about the congregation or my work there as a pastor, as I intend this to remain a site informed by my own interests and not those of the church. Likewise it should go without saying that anything that I may post here is not in any way meant to represent an endorsement by the church.
I begin my new position June 16th, and while there may be a higher than usual number of posts between now and then don’t be surprised if during the first couple weeks after I start there is a bit of a drop-off.
