In the bible, ministry is
done by teams of willing individuals. Jesus chose to minister and
purse God's will through a small band of disciples. This led to his
sending of disciples out in pairs (Mark 6:7). Later, Jesus appointed
seventy-two others who were also sent out in pairs or two person
teams (Luke 10:1).
First
Christian Church has recently called an energetic pastoral team
to lead us as we seek life transformation, and dare to grow
for our God. The Rev(s). Paul and
Lisa Klaus joined First Christian in December of 2006.
Both Lisa and Paul are ordained ministers in the Christian Church
(Disciples of Christ) with Masters of Divinity degrees from Texas
Christian University, Brite Divinity School. Paul will be providing
leadership in pastoral care, evangelism, worship, and fellowship.
