Each year, our church family comes together to take a special offering in addition to what we regularly give to make a special impact for the advance of the gospel. God has provided. God wants the gospel to advance. He will see that it will happen. When we put together the individual treasures he has given each of us to steward, we put our hearts together in that place with God.

Kossuth is a church that loves partnering with global partners who are doing the frontline work in advancing the Kingdom. Because many of our partners are in sensitive locations, we don't often get to share too much about what they are doing. So just imagine with me for a minute as you read along.

This summer, the elders have been hard at work reviewing submissions, interacting with applicants, and engaging with their materials. With unanimous approval from the Elders, we are excited to present Jonathan Keisling as our candidate for Lead Pastor before the congregation.

We’ve reviewed resumes and websites. We’ve watched sermons online. We’ve done phone and Zoom interviews. We’ve sent and received back several lengthy questionnaires. We continue to ask the Lord to direct our steps as we evaluate gifting, passion, fit, and long-term impact for God’s glory and Kossuth’s good.
