Servant Spotlight - August 2008
Jeremy Hyde

This month, Jeremy Hyde has been      chosen as the spotlight servant. Jeremy will    begin serving at Mission in  August as the Spiritual Formation Pastor.      Jeremy is married to Shelly, and he has two stepsons, Matthew (15), and Mark (13). He enjoys playing golf, music, reading, and jet skiing.

        Jeremy has served in small group leadership development, as well as a Worship Pastor, Grief Counselor, Hospice Chaplain, and Youth     Pastor. Jeremy is most fulfilled through these ministries when he can use his life experiences to help others grow in their  relationship with God. He also enjoys working closely with others to see what Christ can accomplish through teamwork!

        When Jeremy was 14, he accepted Christ in a county wide youth rally, and his spiritual growth really took off when he was in college. God has helped him survive many challenges in his life. God has been able to take the worst times in his life and create new dreams and hopes that could have not been there otherwise.

        Jeremy’s favorite verse is Psalm 121:1-2, “I lift up my eyes to the hills. Does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord, who made the heavens and the earth.” He says that this verse has been  comforting so many times as a reminder that with anything he faces, God is present at all times!
