Dear Yellowknife Vineyard Church Family,
On Sunday, September 14th Pastor Jabin announced during the service that I will be stepping into the position of the small group and worship pastor. I am honoured to accept this position and believe that Jesus has been leading and guiding me into this leadership role.
Over the past few months small groups have been on my heart and I have felt God calling me to be involved in this ministry. I believe that small groups can play an important role in creating a thriving church family. They can facilitate newcomers and regular attendees to intentionally connect. They create a space for people to care for each other and to journey through life together. I believe small groups can create a space for authentic discipleship and a space where people can grow in their walk with Jesus. I believe that Jesus has placed this passion and vision for small groups in my heart.
While I am taking the position of small groups/worship pastor, Caleb (my husband) and I will be doing ministry together. This new role comes with the understanding that I will be leading the small group ministry and Caleb will be leading the worship ministry. We are honoured to be stepping into this role and are thankful for the support of the BOD and PLT. We would like to express our gratefulness to Joshua Mitton for all of his vision, heart and time that he has poured into these ministries over the past couple of years. We will continue and build on all that he has done.
We are hoping to start several small groups in the coming weeks. Ideally we will have several groups on different days of the week and with several different focuses allowing everyone who wants to be involved to be able to find a place that works for them!
The worship ministry at the Yellowknife church is always growing. We believe that the primary focus of worship is to bring glory and praise to God. Worship can also facilitate people to authentically encounter God and his presence leading to the transformation of lives.
If you are interested in being on the worship team or getting plugged into a small group please reach out and we would love to get you connected. We look forward to serving you and are honoured to be a part of all that God is doing in Yellowknife.
Blessings,
Michaela and Caleb De Putter
