As a church we are so excited to welcome back to our Redmond Campus Pastors, Dr. Rey and Elise Diaz. They have been serving in Honduras the last four years and God has blessed them with phenomenal success in building Together For Transformation which includes, the AFE school, the Love and Faith Church, the medical clinic, the social work project with the people of the dump, the home building projects, and so many other ministries that work at transforming that part of the world.
They are returning to our local Washington Cathedral staff with the intentions of launching a movement of great caring networks. I will continue in my current role of Senior Pastor and Chairman of the Board. Rey and I will share the preaching at the main services. Of course, as before, there will be other members of the preaching team joining us from time-to-time.
Rey’s position is what I like to call the “new offensive coordinator”. He will lead the ministry staff and Pastor Linda will continue to lead the operations and financial administration. This will allow me to put more focus on building the round table organizations and the meta church congregations. Of course I will continue, as always, to do my share of pastoral care, counseling and discipleship as I have always done in our church. Rey will be leading major adaptations to our English speaking congregations.
We will continue to be a strong multigenerational church. Each of the Congregational Pastors will continue to lead their congregations – Pastor Dale 6:00 Saturday, Pastor Linda 9:00 Sunday and Pastor Jackie 11:00 Sunday. However, we will be raising the bar of excellence in everything we do to better reach people for Jesus Christ. This includes re-engineering our small group ministry, discipleship ministry and evangelism ministry. It is as if I am the “head coach” (the chairman of the board) and he is the “new offensive coordinator”. Most churches don’t have both a Lead Pastor and a Senior Pastor, but if you haven’t figured it out yet- - - we aren’t most churches. As always, we believe in teamwork leadership.
Bill Gates brought in a specialist to be President and run Microsoft while he worked on the creative side of things- - - we are doing something similar. This is normative in the business world. Rey, myself and Pastor Linda work so well together that this collaborative approach to leadership is going to bring about a tremendous breakthrough and perhaps be a model of teamwork leadership for churches around the world.
Rey is a great organizer and sequential thinker while I am a great disorganizer and random thinker, so together we expect to move Washington Cathedral to the cutting-edge of church growth. We have been through a long hard path the last 8 years and now it’s time for a breakthrough. Rey is beginning this breakthrough with a series of messages leading up to Easter called “Contagious”. It will start next weekend (March 10th & 11th). Let’s get ready to rock this world as we bring in reinforcements to move from one great caring network to launching a movement that will change the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ!
Your friend for the rest of my life,
Pastor Tim White
