Welcome to Macon

A new, New City family is on the way... the moving truck hopefully arrives tomorrow and Jaclyn and Elijah will be picked up from the airport. Zack has been here since Monday after an 18+ hour drive from Boston. Yes, BOSTON.
Why are they moving to Macon? To be a part of New City Church - crazy.
Six years ago I met Zack when I moved from Birmingham to Eastman, GA. He was the youth pastor at the church I was coming to as pastor. After a year or so, Zack left us for school in Birmingham, where he met his wife Jaclyn. After graduation, Zack, Jaclyn, and their new baby Elijah headed to Boston Mass for Gordon Conwell Seminary. Recently Zack and Jaclyn began talking about where they could serve the kingdom - they wanted to be in a theologically conservative church who was striving to advance the gospel and the kingdom in their city and ultimately through all the world. After looking at other churches and other cities, they agreed that Macon would be their home, and New City would be their church. Zack is looking for a job - has his second interview with a local company next week. They have risked much to invest much... and we're glad.
Welcome to Macon Zack, Jaclyn, and Elijah Williams.
