Ergonomic
Title un-related, I just like that word.
So, we can cross Griffith Community Christian Church of the “mildly interested” list, I got a lovely “we’ve decided to go another direction” letter from them. On the upside, through phone interviews today, I was able to add two churches to the list:
Crossview Fellowship, Keokuk, IA – Unfortunately, this one got crossed off the list almost as soon as it was added. They called early today and I had a phone interview that went pretty well, except that I was informed they were mildly charismatic. This would be cool, except I’m not charismatic, never have been, and would have no idea how to teach the theology. So, this one is going to have to be turned down, regardless of whether they want me or not. I didn’t have a chance to tell them to pull my name out of the drawing, but the pastor acknowledged my shortcomings in that area as well, so I’m pretty sure we’re on the same wavelength on this.
Fellowship Connection Church, Gilbert, AZ – Now, this one is really exciting. This is a church plant, 40 some attendees at the moment, and two staff members. Right now, it’s a tent-making effort, all the staff are working full-time jobs outside the church, which is what I’d be expected to do as well. The thing is though, the guy I’d work for has been a youth pastor, he’d be a brilliant mentor if I get the position. Plus, I’d learn a little about church planting, which is never not a plus. Like I told the pastor, I’m looking to do youth ministry and get paid, but I don’t necessarily have to get paid for youth ministry. This would be a pretty kickin’ opportunity, plus, I’ve never been to AZ before. We had our phone interview today, so we’ll see how this one develops.
Well, that was my day. And I have a cold. On a side note, cuddle time with the girl has increased, which I believe is making both of us a bit happier.
