Congratulations to Paul Jones on winning the all-expense-paid Ministry Conference Getaway from CCI Solutions.  Paul is the new Sr. Pastor at Reality, a three-year old church plant in downtown Olympia, WA. Reality is a growing congregation of about 250 members, comprised of mostly young adults. Paul said the focus of the ministry is following Christ and serving the community. The church provides a connecting place for college students and artsy 20-somethings to worship together and share in ministering to those in need in the city center - especially the homeless youth. Paul and his wife Callie have recently moved to this area and have been leading the ministry for the last 6 months. Paul was previously a youth pastor at a larger church in Vancouver, WA. What conference are they going to attend? "I haven't figured it out exactly since we were so surprised to win" said Paul, after he found out that his name was drawn. "I think we will go to a pastor's conference or a conference for new church planters since we are new leaders at the church and it really is still a new church plant. We will enjoy the time away and can really use the input" Again, congratulations to Paul and his wife. |
