A Pastoral Team

Ingleside long ago ceased to be a church small enough for one pastor to shepherd and oversee. For many years we have been led and served by a pastoral team. With our membership now numbering more than 3,800, a strong team of pastors is essential. I’m grateful that the Lord has provided our church just such a gifted and dedicated team.

Over the next few weeks, while I am on vacation and study break, you will have the joy of hearing some of our pastors speak on Sundays and Wednesdays. The schedule is as follows:

Sunday, July 25        David Peterson, Discipleship Pastor

Sunday, August 1     Riley Brown, Executive Pastor

Sunday, August 8     Mark Hudgins, Membership Pastor

The speakers on Wednesday nights will be Mark Hudgins (July 28, August 11) and David Peterson (August 4, 18). I will be speaking again, Lord willing, beginning Sunday, August 15.

Where Will You Serve?

As we look to a new school year and church year beginning in August, I hope you are asking the Lord where you should serve. At Ingleside we believe that every member is a minister. That means that every member should have a role in our church serving others in Jesus’ name. As we have often said, at Ingleside "there are no passengers; we are all crew!" Don’t sit on the sidelines; get in the game. Find your place of service today!

Sizing the Room to the Size of the Crowd

During the next few weeks – when many Inglesiders are on vacation – we are configuring our worship center to have about 1,200 seats (as opposed to the typical 1,700). As you know, the "psycho-spatial dynamics" in any room are affected by the number of people and the number of seats. In virtually any gathering, including a worship service, a room comfortably filled is much preferred to one with many empty seats. Our goal is to enhance the vitality, warmth, and connectedness of our summer Sunday worship experiences by "sizing the room to the size of the crowd." Thanks in advance for your help and cooperation!

What a joy it is to be part of a church family where God is obviously at work – transforming the lives of people. Thanks for your partnership in the gospel. The best is yet to come!

Your Pastor and Friend,

Tim McCoy
