    Tara and I are so excited to share with you what God has been revealingo us over the past year. We have always had the dream to start a

    church, and over the last year, that dream has become a reality. In

    September 2013, we will be launching Relevant Church in Plymouth,Minnesota.

    As we have been preparing, planning, and dreaming, we have alreadyeen God do so much. Families are moving, doors have been opened,

    and a team has developed.

    Our dream is to be a church that is constantly making the Kingdom more crowded. Our vision is to Love God, Connect witothers, and Build His kingdom. Relevant Church will be a church with contemporary music, service enhancing multimediaand relevant teaching with practical application. We dont want to get caught up in tradition, but focus on the heart ofGod and having a REAL relationship with Him. The community of Plymouth is a community that is nancially wealthy, but

    piritually poor. We hope to bring a new way of church to the community that is exciting, fun and empowering.

    We know that it is not an easy assignment to start a church from nothing, and that the devil will do everything he can to

    prevent a move of God in Plymouth. To fulll this calling, we will need a network of people partnering with us, including

    churches, businesses, friends, and family. Together with a support team who believe in the importance of seeing liveschanged through the local church, we can make a dierence in Plymouth.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to read about this exciting new chapter in our lives. We couldnt be more excited tohare it with you and sincerely hope that you would add us to your prayer list as we enter this new chapter. Thank you agaor helping us as we watch our dream become a reality.

    f you have any questions please dont hesitate to contact us, as we would love to chat and answer any questions you mayhave.
