A New Year, A Transformed Me!
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I give thanks to our gracious God for putting you all in our lives. Your faithfulness and your enthusiasm fill my heart with joy and helps complete my hope in Christ. Every day I look forward to serving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ alongside each of you and growing in our discipleship journey together.
What a year! We have so many reasons to thank God as we say “good bye” to 2024. It was a year filled with opportunities, achievements, and yet we experienced sorrow, and grief. This past year was a year of living life with all that life brings. However, regardless of what we faced, we experienced the presence of Christ, through the Holy Spirit.
As we move into 2025, I am looking forward to what God has in store for our congregation, and the impact we will have on our community. I truly believe God will answer many of our prayers regarding facility, growth, and ministry opportunities. We simply have to be prayerful, faithful, and patient.
As I was browsing through God’s Word, the phrase, “A transformed Me” came to my mind. I thank began looking at the different passages that talk abut transformation.
Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
2 Corinthians 3:18
And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
Philippians 3:21
Who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
The New Testament addresses this process of transforming our minds, our bodies, and our hearts to that of Christ.
The Holy Spirit is in the business of transformation. What does transformation mean? It means becoming something different, something new.
2025 is an opportunity for me to become something new in my relationship with Christ. I have mentioned on different platforms, that my vow for 2025 is Just Be Jesus or A Transformed Me. I am going to be intentional, even more so in 2025, to be Jesus in the lives of those in our congregation and in our community.
I am not talking about a Messiah complex, that I must be in control, or I am the only one who can fix things, but I am talking about being the Holy Presence so people see Christ in me. I want to invite you to take this journey with me in 2025. A journey that will say, “I want to be the image of Christ for all to see.” “I will do what it takes to allow people to see Jesus in me.”
May we allow the Holy Spirit to transform our minds, hearts, and bodies as we seek to make a positive impact on our community.
Blessings to you in the New Year!

A generous member of the church has offered to give up to $500,000 for the building fund if we can raise a matching amount. If you are interested, please complete the pledge form available in the sanctuary. The pledge can be payable in installments any time through the end of 2025. A pledge can be changed at any time if circumstances change. These matching building fund donations are in addition to pledges for normal church operations. Even if we are enormously successful, a million dollars will not buy a new building given high real estate costs in Kerrville -- but it will make a serious start for an interim facility that allows for our continued growth.
Please pray that the Holy Spirit will continue to guide us.

We are an orthodox and traditional Global Methodist Church in Kerrville, TX.
We believe in the authority of the Bible as the inspired Word of God.
We believe that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and the Way.
I believe in God the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, and the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
Our Mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ who worship passionately, love extravagantly, and witness boldly.
Our vision is to be known for growing deep in worship and prayer, growing up as disciples, growing together in love and growing out in evangelism and outreach.
