Since it was made publicly official during worship yesterday, I wanted to go ahead and make it public here as well: I am starting a new job in July! I was hired this week as the Coordinator of Youth and Family Ministries for Fellowship Congregational Church, here in Tulsa.
I am very excited about this opportunity to return to working in churches and putting theological education to good use. Being able to mix in the skills I’ve learned during my time as a teacher only makes it that much better.
Fellowship is a member of the United Church of Christ, a Congregational denomination with an emphasis on being justice oriented and open and affirming, as well as Biblically serious and proud of its long history and tradition stretching back to the great Congregational churches of colonial America. This church specifically occupies as special role in Tulsa as a preeminent Christian congregation that welcomes all, and provides a home for those who aren’t welcome elsewhere.
I hope to be able to share the work I am going to be doing here in the future!
