We’re moving…

June 21, 2012 by Chris Parker Leave a Comment

We’re moving to Texas! The word is out officially among both our current and future church homes…the transition days are very bittersweet, it continues to be an emotional rollercoaster. We are sad to move away from Wheaton Bible Church, our friends in the Chicagoland area, and the many memories and ministry experiences that God has created here over the past 6 years. While it is hard to say goodbyes, we are thoroughly excited and welcome the opportunity at Gateway Church in Austin, Texas! I have accepted the position of Student Pastor overseeing the middle school and high school ministry.

After a long interview process, much prayer, seeking wisdom from mentors, family and friends we are confident that God indeed has blessed mine and Calla’s calling to Austin. We are both looking forward to see how God will use us in this next chapter of life together.

Your prayers are appreciated during our transition in the weeks ahead!

    Awesome! My friend Ben Sledge is a teaching pastor and the college ministry pastor there. He’s married to one of my best friends!

    We are thrilled to see you moving back to Austin! However, I know how sad Wheaton Bible Church must be. You are a TREASURE and will be missed sorely, I’m sure!
