"We’re extremely grateful for the opportunity to work with Pastor Woodruff," said Lead Pastor for Operations Stan Breeden. "He is a seasoned minister with a wealth of experience as both a transitional and senior pastor and he will help guide our church as we search for and welcome a new senior pastor."
"This is an incredible community of faith and it's an honor for me to be part of what God is doing in and through the First Family," said Pastor Woodruff. "This is not a time for us to wait and see what comes next. We serve a living God, who is active and always at work around us. Through prayer and our willingness to be stretched beyond ourselves, we will see God do amazing things with us."
