I am not an entertainer

As a pastor to students I am not an entertainer. What’s more, I am not director of programs to entertain students. Our doors aren’t open to entertain.

As a pastor to students, along with those I serve with both paid an volunteer, we open our doors to be shepherds. We are spiritual guides. Our doors are open to be a place of refuge, renewal and restoration. Our aim is focused on the Chief Shepherd. We take our cues from the Word of God. Specifically 1 Peter 5:2-4,

“2Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; 3not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.”
