About me: I was dropped on my head as an infant.
I grew into an attention-seeking middle child.
I'm now a husband, a father, and a church planter.
I am currently working in Shakopee, MN with Matt Segebartt and Adam Breiner to plant a team-based church that completely bypasses the small church growth phase. We will be starting preview services in October '07 with a full launch in the Fall of '08. You can find out more at www.shakopeeteamproject.org. Also, keep watching www.renewchurch.org.
I am called to live a balanced life of love and service to God, my family, and my community.
I am called to place my family above my vocation, to be a loving and accessible husband and father, ministering to my family's needs and demonstrating God's love to them in a tangible way.
I am called to lead a team of pastors to plant a growing church in the Twin Cities metro area and to facilitate a healthy, growing network of church plants that glorify God and prepare communities for Christ's soon return.
You scored as Premillenialist. Premillenialism believes that there will be a rapture and tribulation before Jesus returns and overthrows the antichrist and establishes his Kingdom. Current events are spoken of in scripture.
Hi Pastor Jay, how are you? How's the new church? Who are you partoring with? I'm doing pretty good. I'm back up in Alaska, for good now. I'm working at a dentist office as a receptionist. I found a church here that I really like and I'm going to start getting involved with the music part. So things are going really good here. How is your family? Well hope to hear from you soon. Have a good rest of the weekend. TTYL!!
Hi Jay. Had a great weekend, thanks. Told Heidi "bolgnikx", but we didn't know what that meant & didn't find it on Google. Clearly the church plant is incorporating glossolalia. How's my brother?
