A unique part of my work over the last 15 years has been serving with churches and teams in transition.  This week I met with the lead team at New Venture Christian Fellowship and agreed to help out as their Transitional Worship Leader while they search for a new full-time worship pastor.

It could be for a few weeks or a few months, depending on their needs and when they identify the right candidate. I’ll still be on the road occasionally, but not as frequently as usual.

This week I co-led with the outgoing worship pastor, Ray Peters. It’s been fun getting to know the people on the team here and get a sense of their heart as worshipers.

This weekend it was fun to make some new friends close to home at New Venture Christian Fellowship in Oceanside, CA. The lead pastor here is Shawn Mitchell who also happens to be Chaplain for the San Diego Chargers. Pretty cool.

One thing I’ve noticed while being on the road serving many different churches is the uniqueness that exists in each congregation. The community of faith at New Venture is a beautiful combination of people who genuinely love each other while deeply connected to the fact that God has rescued them from much. They worship Jesus with the passion of people who have experienced God’s love in a powerful way.

It was fun to be back with my team at The Station this weekend. Our family took a stay-cation the past couple weeks to kick this Summer off. A lot of great relaxation and time at the beach to renew the soul.

There was a cool energy in the room because we had a team from Highland Park Baptist Church in Alabama visiting this week. They were on a mission here to serve The Station and the Carlsbad community. It was inspiring to hear them tell a few stories during service about the impact this week had on their team.

We opened our worship experience with a 2 song set, moved into the teaching time and then did 3 more tunes with communion in the closing set. The band freakin’ rocked and the worship had a celebratory feel which was a blast to lead.
