The Elders have recommended Pastor Jay Childs as a candidate to be our next Senior Pastor, and today we welcome him to share with us from Matthew 16. Pastor Jay grew up in Southern California and then in Northern Michigan. His wife, Becky, grew up in Boulder, Colorado. Jay and Becky have three young adult children: Ben (married to Ellie), Stacy, and Heidi. Before joining with Midland Evangelical Free Church in 1990, Jay and Becky pastored a church in rural Minnesota for three years.
Besides their passion for the local church, Jay and Becky love to walk, travel, rollerblade, and read. They also have a burden for encouraging workers in the mission field. They have both traveled to a variety of countries in this endeavor. Some favorite countries they’ve visited: Bosnia, India, Malaysia, Italy, Ireland, China, and Egypt.

We also invite you to stay after services today to enjoy a box lunch ($5/person, $20/family) with Pastor Jay and Becky, followed by time for questions and answers.
