After 15 wonderful years serving at La Mirada Church, I’ll be retiring as Women’s and Children’s Pastor. I’m deeply grateful for every moment and every person God allowed me to walk alongside.
As I began my comments on this past Sunday, I asked one of my favorite questions: “What’s the first thing God gave His people when He delivered them from slavery in Egypt?”
A calendar.
Because God is the Author of time and seasons, and He’s the One who writes every chapter of our lives. This retirement marks the close of one beautiful season and the beginning of another. As Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us, there is a time for every purpose under heaven.
So… what’s next for Pastor Jennifer?
This isn’t an ending, it’s another step in following Jesus. I’ll continue teaching and writing through the Dwelling Richly Bible studies and podcast, encouraging others to let the Word of Christ dwell in them richly. I hope you'll join me! I'm excited for what the Lord will bring!
Through this transition, my heart rests in one simple truth: Eyes on Him. We may not yet see everything in this world fully under His rule, but we do see Jesus (Hebrews 2:8–9). That’s the focus that has carried me through every season of ministry and it remains the focus now.
Retiring from this role doesn’t retire my calling. It simply opens a new chapter to serve and shepherd in fresh ways. And as always, the mission remains the same: to point hearts toward the Word, to build up the Body, and to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus as we let the Word of Christ dwell in us richly.
God’s faithfulness in the past gives me full confidence for the future both for me and for La Mirada Church.
I'll continue my ministry of discipleship through writing and teaching the Dwelling Richly Bible studies, speaking at events, retreats, and conferences, and shepherding through biblical counseling.
The current study through Philippians will continue, so if you are not yet in that study, today is a good day to start! Get the details on my website and be sure to get on the email list so you get updates about future studies and events.
