Installation...

Well it is almost here. Tomorrow morning I will be officially installed as one of the new pastors at Calvary Chapel Seattle. What exactly is the "installation process" you might ask? Well it is much like vows and/or promises that occur in a wedding only with regards to ministry and calling. In a sense it is me declaring and confirming my call to love, serve, and pastor those who would call Calvary there home - specifically in the areas of youth/young adults and counseling/congregational care. Basically tomorrow Jen, Glady, and I get to go to our new church together and then starting this next week it's go time! Please continue to pray for us as we step into this new community!

Here are the promises/vows I will be responding to tomorrow at Calvary...
