I came across this video from Jeff Vanderstelt and Soma Communities. Jeff articulates well my desire for a church plant community here in Midland and what I envision it looking like.
We Have Arrived

It’s been almost four months since I shared a brief narrative of our call to Midland. Much has transpired since that time. In addition to our gradual affiliation and assimilation into the Christian Reformed Church, our family was able to find a great home in quiet neighborhood and finally move into Midland.
Although our official move date was back in February, it seems like just yesterday we arrived. This whole process has been a testimony God’s graciousness and faithfulness. As I look back over the past four months I am amazed at the providential orchestration that has brought our family to this point. As can only be expected, the packing / moving process was exhausting. Two weeks of boxing every night and one week of painting and prep work took their toll! We are so very grateful for the help of family and friends throughout this process.
As we look forward to establishing roots within our community and the city of Midland as a whole, I am reminded again of our hope and desire to see the gospel take root here as well as our own lives. This journey serves as a continual reminder of our absolute dependence upon Divine-Sovereign grace. We covet your prayers for our family as we seek to love, dwell in, and seek the renewal of this city through an incarnation of the gospel planted in the city of Midland.
Again, it is my hope to post some more information pertaining specifically to the Trinity Grace CRC. In the mean time you can receive updates via Facebook or follow along via Twitter.
