We left Vancouver thinking we'd end up in one part of the Carolinas, but are quite happily surprised to find ourselves moving to Fort Mill, South Carolina (just south of Charlotte, NC).
Beginning September 1, I will be serving as LifeGroups Director at Forest Hill Church at the Fort Mill campus. My role is to provide oversight and shepherding for current LifeGroup (small group) leaders, develop potential leaders, and provide general leadership as part of the Adult Discipleship team. *Basically, the exact job I want to do.
The church is a perfect fit for us. I've found myself in each subsequent meeting more and more excited about their vision and values. And we both feel like we can worship.
The location is awesome. Fort Mill is right between both of our families (less than 2hr drive either way). It is close to Charlotte but still a distinct community in its own right. The bummer is that other people seem to have discovered this also.
Places to rent seem to get snatched up pretty quickly, but we're hopeful we can find a good place. The next two weeks are going to be a bit hectic for us as we look for somewhere to live.
I'll be sure to post a longer update once we move, but we wanted to share the great news with y'all.
Finally, I'll just leave this up here for those of you thinking about visiting us.
See that red arrow, that's the church. The yellow arrow is pointing to a lake. Up at the top of the map is Carowinds which google maps describes as "sprawling theme park with water rides". See you soon.
