a message from pastor jimmy

            9 years ago, on Sunday, June 25, 2017, I delivered my first sermon at First Christian Plymouth.  For several months Lee Parker and I took turns being your supply ministers.  After preaching September 24, 2017, I was interviewed by the Plymouth FCC search committee chaired by Aubrey Asby.  After reporting to the Elders and Church Board, my name was presented to the congregation after I preached on November 12th. The congregation voted to issue the call for me to become the minister of FCC Plymouth.  I served FCC Williamston the last two Sundays of November as their associate minister.  Then on December 3, 2017, I officially started my time as your minister here at FCC Plymouth.
                I am sharing this "journey down memory lane", because on May 3, 2026, I officially shared with the Elders at breakfast and then with the Church Board after worship, my "year's" notice that I'll be resigning as minister of FCC Plymouth.  My last Sunday will be April 25, 2027.  A year's notice is highly unusual, but the leaders of the church and I realize it can be a lengthy process to search for and find the next minister to lead this wonderful church family in the years ahead.
                   Charlotte and I can never thank you all enough for allowing us to not only serve you, but also be a part of the FCC Plymouth family.
                      God's blessings on all of you as we continue to serve God and our neighbors with the love of Jesus Christ.

                                                                                                                Pastor Jimmy & Charlotte
