VIDEO: 3 Years of Worship in 9 Minutes – My years at Sunridge
I will surely miss the worship experiences I have been a part of at Sunridge, my former church. Here is a tribute to the last three years. One of the best group of volunteers in music and tech served with me during these three years and I will dearly miss you guys and the amazing people of Sunridge! Now, I am excited about the possible next steps God has before me. Blessings!

The hardest part was sitting around our kitchen table last Thursday and looking both my kids in the eye to deliver the news. Tears were shed. Big tears. “Dad, I’m confused” was my son’s response. My girl said that she does not want to lose another youth group. We prayed, hugged and all agreed that even though we don’t know the next leg on this journey that we are in this together. That is what families do. Read more →
