Dear Parents

We have wonderful news that we are so excited to share with you!  As you know, we have spent the last three months searching for an Associate Director for our high school ministry.  We have been looking for someone who is gifted in building relationships with students, has a passion for studying and teaching God’s Word, and is the right fit for the personality of our students and staff.  We could not be happier to announce to you that we have hired Doug Brown as our new High School Associate Director.

Doug is currently a member of Calvary Church and actually grew up through all of our children and student ministries.  He has served as an intern in our college ministry and has spent the last year working in the Worship Center as the Visual Arts Coordinator.  His job has been to help strategically and creatively plan all of our Elevation services from set design to response stations.  However, Doug’s heart has always been in student ministries.  He not only loves high school students, but he loves OUR high school students.  Before he knew that Ryan was leaving, Doug made his move into high school ministry as a volunteer.  He has spent the summer building relationships with our guys and has already earned so much respect among the students and staff.

We interviewed a number of applicants with various qualifications and backgrounds, but Doug stood out as the absolute best choice.  His unique personality, heart for Jesus, creativity, and giftedness is EXACTLY what we have been looking for.  Thank you so much for your constant prayer and support.  This is an exciting time for our high school ministry and we look forward to an incredible year.  Please come get to know Doug at any of our high school services or at our parent meeting on September 13!

Sincerely,

Josh Simpson and Melissa Brosch
