I think one of the hardest things for me is keeping the vision crystal clear in my own mind of what I am called to do as a church planter. Last night I went on a walk and just prayed, asking God to continue to formulate His vision for Epic Church and Andover [...]
In January we are going to kick off the first series in our new sermon shorts. I’m going to be putting video podcasts online each week. The first series we’re going to be doing is called “Living With No Regrets - a look at the book of Acts”. With the new year [...]
Are you bullish or bearish? This is a great question to ask when it comes to church planting. I think now is the time to be bullish! With the current financial temperature of our country and world there is no better time to be investing financially in things that matter spiritually. There are [...]
Man, the Andover Hometown Christmas was amazing! I am really impressed with the Andover Chamber of Commerce. They did a phenomenal job with this event. Epic Church ended up having 14 volunteers show up! It was a blast, thanks to all who helped pull this off!

So, Jenni and I move on December 19th. Our last Sunday at Bible Christian Church will be on the 14th, we will do youth group that Wednesday night with our teens and then we will be on our way to plant Epic. This last month is going to be tinged with feelings of excitement and [...]

Jenni and I got to spend the weekend with a bunch of teenagers from Bible Christian Church. It was our last youth group trip as the youth ministers here. The whole trip was tinged with sadness for me. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited about our church plant - I am confident that we have [...]
