LETTER FROM THE LARAS

To Our Dear Church Family,

We are writing you to let you know about some changes coming at Grace Church involving the Lara Family.     

We believe the Lord is taking us in a new ministry direction for this next season of our lives. Our District Supervisor, Steve Mickel, recently approached Omar and asked him to pray about joining the Northwest District Foursquare team as Associate District Supervisor. As we prayed, we both sensed that this was God opening this door and that YES, we are to go. After seven years as Lead Pastors at Grace, this was no easy decision nor one we took lightly.

Please know the only thing that would ever move us from this amazing church family would be a clear direction from the Lord. We deeply love this church and this community and are in no way unhappy, disgruntled, or upset. We were not expecting this new direction, nor were we planning for it. We have a strong sense from the Lord that this is His leading for us, and we feel we are not simply leaving but being called to our next assignment in ministry. We have absolute confidence and trust in our staff and leaders here at Grace and our District Supervisor to help navigate our church through this next season.

Please pray as we seek God together about this transition and what the next season looks like for Grace Church. We look forward to our coming weeks together and our final Sunday at Grace on February 25th. 

Blessings and so much love to you!

Pastors Misty and Omar
