We are excited to introduce Pastor Jeremy Lance as the new Lead Pastor of Hazleton Community Church.
Pastor Jeremy has been serving God faithfully with his wife, Kali, in any way God has asked since 2013. Together they have served in Children's Ministry, Adult Small Group Ministry, owned and operated a Business as Mission, and served as full-time Missionaries. Jeremy has also led Men's Ministry and served as Connection Pastor for Cross Point Church in Silver City, NM. They share a heart that desires to see God's Church equipped and sent out to operate in the callings and giftings that He has given his people, to see people find joy and fulfillment in using their gifts, and above all, to see the lost and seeking souls of this world find the peace and comfort in the arms of their Savior.
Jeremy and Kali have been married since June of 2003. They have two great kids, Crystal and Clay, a “bonus son,” Evan, and the sweetest granddaughter, Maisyn.
There are two passages of Scripture that really define who they strive to be:
Matthew 5:14-16 NLT
[14] “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. [15] No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. [16] In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.”
Isaiah 6:8 NLT
[8] Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?” I said, “Here I am. Send me.”
We’d like to thank each and every person who helped to fill in the gaps of our pulpit over the past several months during our Pastoral Search process. We thank everyone for their prayers during this time.
We look forward to serving the Lord with the Lances here at HCC and invite you to join us in welcoming them to our congregation and our community.
