Staff Transition

Dear Christ Church Family,

It is with a heavy but grateful heart that we announce the departure of our Director of Music and Artist-in-Residence, Andy Zipf, from the staff of Christ Church. After six years of service, the Zipf family will re-locate to Greenville, SC where Andy will serve as an Executive Director at a Chick-fila. Andy’s last service will be Sunday, August 25, 2024. There will be a reception for Andy, Miriam, and Aiden following the service.  

Please join us in expressing our gratitude to Andy for his invaluable service through the past six years. Beyond the musical excellence and creativity he shared with us, Andy also served our congregation sacrificially behind the scenes, especially during the renovation of our sanctuary and the trial of COVID. These challenges went smoothly because of Andy’s expertise and tireless work.

As we conduct a search for a new Director of Music, we have constructed an interim plan in which we will be in the reliable hands of Stephen Craig and our talented team of musicians. Please be praying for Stephen and company as they lead us each week. 
 
Though a sad moment, it is a great opportunity for Christ Church to exercise faith, calling on God to meet our needs. As we do so, let’s entrust ourselves to a gracious Father who always gives more than we ask or deserve through his Son, Jesus Christ. 
 
Grace and Peace in Jesus,
 
Chuck Colson
Pastor, Christ Church
