Further Up and Further In — A Pastor’s Return

After a season of intentional rest and spiritual renewal, Pastor Dan returns grateful and refreshed, thanking the congregation and staff for their faithfulness. He recounts deep recalibration, honest reflection, and moments of writing, prayer, and family time that renewed his calling.

He celebrates the church's growth in his absence, the courage of guest speakers and youth, and invites the congregation to keep moving "further up and further in" toward God's heart—embracing Sabbath rest, mentorship, and an ongoing journey of transformation.
