welcome to the team

| ACC is growing. God is transforming lives all around us. It's humbling to be a part of what God is doing here. ACC experienced an awesome Easter celebration a few weeks back with 470 in attendance. Maxed out parking. Maxed out children's space. Maxed out everything related to our facility. And that's a good thing. In the local church, we're sometimes tempted to try to "manage" growth much like Ben Bernanke and the Fed try to do with the economy. Yet at the end of the day, God is the one who brings the increase. And far be it from me, or any other leader in the church, to try and slow down what God is doing. (For that matter, far be it from any of us to try and speed up what God is doing at times too!) We simply need to follow His lead. And follow His timing. God has led ACC to need a full-time Worship Arts Minister. Scott Spivey, our current part-time Worship Leader, has declined this full-time opportunity as God has directed him to continue developing other means of serving God as a vocation. His love for God and his ability to help people connect with God in worship has been awesome. And we will miss his God-honoring service to ACC. At the same time, God has pressed upon the hearts of the ACC leadership to extend the call to serve in this new full-time ministry position to Jeremy Hazelton. He has been in full-time ministry for seven years and brings a passion to help lead other people to engage God in an intimate personal way. He and his wife Audra will join us in the early part of May. You can check out Jeremy's blog and email him at jhazelton@arundelcc.org. We are continually in awe of how great of God we serve. We praise Him for His perfect timing and for His perfect provision. It is our prayer, that the Baltimore/Washington DC area continue to experience the love of Christ through ACC; to experience life-change; to find their way back to God. Welcome to the team Jeremy! |
