New Job- Grace Family Church

Josh accepted a position as the high school pastor at Grace Family Church in Tampa, FL. He is in charge of the high school service, named IO, which meets on Wednesday nights at 7:00. Currently, there are about 300 high schoolers (WOW)! Needless to say, we do not know all of their names yet. After the service on Wednesdays, the students meet in small groups around the church for about 30 minutes. Our desire is to see the small groups move into homes at some point. After small groups, the students can go hang out in the Youth Center, which is fully equipped with arcade games, skee ball, basketball, ping pong, and of course, snacks!

In addition to the Wednesday night service, Josh will also be planning mission trips and weekend events. This summer, we will be going to camp at an outdoor camp with both the children's and middle school ministries. Should be interesting having kids ranging from 1st to 12th grade there! There will not be a youth mission trip this year, but Josh is already brainstorming for next summer.

Josh's other responsibilities include being apart of the Family Ministry Team and the Creative Arts Team. He is also a Teaching Pastor and will be teaching a few times throughout the year in the main service. His first teaching time is the last weekend in February!
