| ACC staff hire to clear way for small groups |
|
In the middle of its Connecting, Growing, Serving vision series, the Amelia Church of Christ today announced that the church will hire a part-time youth minister to take over the junior and senior high ministry. The hire is necessary to move Brian Morrissey, youth and worship minister at ACC for more than seven years, into his new role as worship and small groups minister. Pastor Mike Edmisten and Brian explained from the stage Sunday that offering small groups at ACC next year will allow every member of the congregation an opportunity to grow deeper in their faith by exploring the Bible together in a more intimate small-group setting. Once a part-time youth minister is hired, Brian will help that person get established in their new position then finalize the small-groups structure and finish training facilitators. Small groups are expected to begin about six months from the time a student minister is hired. Church leaders have designed small groups to facilitate opportunities to grow closer to God and grow closer to one another, the crucial second step in ACC's Connecting, Growing, Serving vision, all of which is being announced during a three-week series called "Simple Church" Oct. 11-25. The congregation discovered during the first week the importance of connecting to Christ and connecting to one another during our Sunday morning worship service. The last part of the exciting but simple vision will be revealed next week as we discover the importance of serving Christ and serving others. |
