I want to be clear and communicate that I am not leaving because I am discontent, worn out, bitter, angry, or in some other way discontent. Put simply, I am moving on to my next position because I believe that it is a wonderful fit for my calling and gifts.

My new post in God’s kingdom finds me serving as the preaching minister at Rochester Church of Christ, next door. So if you need me, I am just about 600 yards east. I hope to still maintain contact with you all–the preacher in me wants to invite you all to services, but really just coming by to talk would be great too.

I am fully confident that the next minister to come into this post at RC will be more talented than I am, and wil serve you faithfully. I am not a part of the hiring team, so I am not aware of who that will be or when it will happen, but I trust that those making this decision will make a good decision.

While I will still be around teaching a class each semester, I do want to formally leave with one last reminder to our campus community:

God loves you and so do I.

Adam
