Transition Time

That’s a snap shot that was texted to me by my little brother from this weekend’s bulletin at First Alliance Church in Calgary, AB.

Yes, it’s true.  I’m excited to be re-joining the staff at this fantastic church.  I got my start in ministry at FAC back in 2005 and my wife and I have some deep roots there.  We love the church, we love Calgary, and we’re excited to see how God will use us there.

My role will be primarily focused on leading worship and providing direction to a new worship service on Sunday nights.  I’m excited about this new opportunity.  My heart beat will be the same as it has been for the past number of years.  1 Corinthians 14 inspires my desire to create powerful and intentional worship environments where the Holy Spirit is invited to transform lives and draw us into a deeper relationship with Jesus.  I want to encourage, equip, and empower everyone to be on mission for Jesus through creative communication methods that break us out of the mundane and remind us of our true purpose.

I’m stoked!

Over the next 2 months my focus is on having my best 2 months of ministry ever at Saanich Baptist Church.  God is doing amazing things there right now and I’m so grateful that I’ve been a part of it in this season.  I love SBC and the people I’ve had the chance to serve with.  God has used this church to build into me in a lasting way.  My last Sunday at SBC will be May 20th.  Until then there are a lot of exciting things coming including Easter weekend, Serve the City in May and the release of our Worship Victoria project  in April.

God is building His church.  I’m humbled and thankful that I get a front row seat.

  1. You sure are going to be missed here at SBC, but I’m glad that you’re going back to FAC… now there won’t be two churches that are lamenting your leaving. LOL. Looking forward to the next couple of months.

    Cheers, Andrew.

  2. Do not stop moving. Do not stop moving. Let your Kingdom come on earth. Jesus build your church. In Victoria, in Calgary and all around the world. Looking forward to having you closer again Caleb.

  3. Excited to have you guys back around here! I’m thinking a regular lunch/coffee are in order when you transition! Will be praying as you guys transition for the sale of your place, for renewed vision as you go back to FAC, and for the drive to finish well at SBC and leave them with the tools to take the worship ministry to the next level! Love you guys!!

  4. … and it just seems like yesterday your résumé came across my MacBook desktop saying “so, my awesome wife is starting at UVic Law School and I’d love to find a ministry in Victoria to serve and use my gifts in” … and the rest? they say is history. what a 3 year ride … #SBC, #UVicLaw and a whack of us folks here in #yyj are the better for having you both around, even just for 3.
