Dear fellow Christ followers,
My family and I would like to thank you for all of the love and support we have received over the past 6 years. We will treasure the memories, and miss all of the hi-five, hugs, and smiles. Please know that wherever God calls us in ministry that Christ Church will certainly be apart of our prayers, and please be praying for us as we are trying to discern whether God is calling me immediately into another youth ministry position, to seminary, or maybe even both. In 18 years of youth ministry God has given me the pleasure of watching blessings pour from the ministries I have been apart of and I am confident God is not removing the call nor the blessings from my life.
I praise Father God for the opportunity to minster at Christ Church. I have tons of fond memories to reflect on and I have had the joy to watch my babies grow into little boys. I have had pleasure to watch a bunch of little 6th grade children graduate from high school. I have been blessed to watch many students accept Christ as their Lord and Savior, to see them to grow in spiritual depth, and I have seen them build the kingdom by ministering inside and outside of the church. In the past month, I have even had the privilege of seeing one of my former students accept a youth minister job at Isle of Hope United Methodist. In many ways my time here has been the best in all of my years serving Christ in ministry. May God bless you and watch over you.
In HIS Grip,
Joey Phillips
(and Heather, James, Nolan, and Levi)
