INTRODUCING!!

Hey Element Church! I am SO excited to announce a new addition to our Lead Staff at Element Church. First, let me say that our Lead Staff at Element Church are AWESOME! We are not replacing ANY of them but adding to them. Grant, Adam and Curtis (along with their wives who are ministers themselves) are INCREDIBLE. We had our first ever Lead Staff only meeting yesterday to make some MAJOR decisions for Element Church, and there is no one else on this planet that I trust more than those three men. The same can be said for our new addition. I want to introduce to you Andy and Aubrey Hazelet.

Andy is not only one of my former students in youth ministry, but one of my closest friends. Andy grew up in our church in Gillette, and in May will be graduating from Oklahoma Wesleyan University with a degree in Pastoral Ministry. Andy married his bride Aubrey in March of 2007 (I hope that's right Andy). Andy will be joining us on staff as part of the Fusion Student Ministry team. Curtis and Heather will be JUST as involved as they have been when Andy arrives. Andy will be joining the staff as a volunteer, getting employment outside of Element Church until we bring him on staff as a paid employee. (Both Curtis and Grant are working like this right now as well) Andy will eventually move into the role of our Fusion Director.

Andy and Aubrey were here two weeks ago and through careful prayer and consideration felt God calling them to Cheyenne and Element Church. I can't wait for all of you to meet them. Both Andy and Aubrey are passionate followers of Christ and have a HUGE heart for teenagers to love and follow Jesus completely. I look forward to more introductions like this as Element Church and it's staff grow.

Following Christ,

Jeff
