FROM THE DESK OF PASTOR IAN EDWARDS
——————————————————
Today is our last Sunday as a church. As of April 1, 2021 I will begin a new season and serve as the Assistant Pastor of Victory Grace Center, Bowie, MD, under the leadership of Dr. Jasmin Sculark. My family and I are grateful for this opportunity to continue to serve people and advance the mission of the kingdom.
For the past almost 12 years I have served as the Senior Pastor and Founder of Winning Souls Evangelistic Church (2009) and The Church at Bowie (2016). During this time, my wife and I have had the opportunity to serve some of the most dynamic people on the planet. Just from a simple yes in 2007, God allowed us to see and do what we couldn’t have ever imagined. Our churches were full of love, flowing with outreach, and faithfully raised up disciples. I can honestly say that we gave God a return on what He gave to us. Every gift, ministry or inch of space in our meeting places were used to the Glory of God. We weren’t known as mega churches, but the church that did “Mega Ministry.’ I am very proud and completely grateful.
I want to thank our Executive Board, Elder, Deacons, Ministers, CFO’s, Trustees, Youth Workers, Small Group Leaders, Food pantry Workers, Outreach Department, Audio/Visual Team, Dance Team, Music Department, Ushers/Greeters, Hospitality, Marketing & Media, Business Operations, Prayer Warriors and Virtual Church Servants for your committed service. We were able to be effective because of YOU!
I also want to thank my wonderful wife for making it easy for me to hear God’s voice and respond. With grace and a great attitude, you stepped up and became whatever the church needed to help us stay effective.
As we embark on this new season, we move confidently even though this wasn’t in our plans, it fulfills God’s purpose. We have seen in our church what happens when we “GO” with God - this is no different. Thank you for following me as I follow Christ. I LOVE YOU!
To every friend, family member or social media supporter, thank you for helping to shine a spotlight on us and for your support.
I believe God was pleased with us my WSEC & CAB family. Let’s continue to do and be kingdom as we always have. To God be the glory.
Humbly Serving,
Pastor Ian & Lady Nic
