Land of Sky

For several months I have been exploring the possibility of creating a new UCC church in the Black Mountain area. I've been in conversation with UCC leadership on the conference and association levels, and also with Sara, a youngish mama like myself who is ordained pending a call in the UCC and interested in co-leading a core group of folks to help discern the mission and vision of this new church. As we gather this core circle, we are also in the process of completing paperwork to submit to a UCC committee, and will soon begin to do some research in Black Mountain so that we can confirm whether it's the right location for this new endeavor.

While it's a difficult season following my dad's death, he offered me his unwavering blessing in support of this ministry a few weeks before he died. I remember the excitement in his voice and his deep belief in my ministry and abilities, and I know that out of troubled times can come rare opportunities for growth, change, and the birth of something new.

I look forward to keeping you informed as this takes shape and unfolds. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers!
