Dear Church Family,
It was good to reflect this past weekend on God’s ongoing faithfulness to this church over the last 60 years. We have so much to be thankful for!
As I have been praying for the past several months, I have come to the conviction that I am not the one who is needed to lead EvFree into the next 60 years. Therefore I have offered, and the elders have accepted, my resignation as the lead pastor here. Now the search can begin for the right leader.
I am grateful for the three years my family and I have been able to serve alongside you. And I have a huge degree of confidence in our God, elders and staff to lead the church through this transition.
If you would be so inclined, Justina and I would love prayer for our family as we seek our next kingdom assignment.
The God who has been faithful to this church over the past 60 years will be faithful for the next 60 also.
Many thanks to all of you! Mike Erre
