Returned Call

Pastor Adam McDowell • October 7, 2024

From the Desk of Pastor McDowell

Lyndi and I thank you for your prayers as we sought the Lord’s direction for the call extended to me. Guided by the Lord, I have concluded my deliberation.


After speaking with members of St. Paul’s and their pastor, hearing from you all as you have pulled me aside for conversation, and being in deep and fervent prayer with my Lord I am further resolved to attend to my call here at St. Peter’s. I am sure God has more planned for us together.


I am grateful and pray that working alongside Pastor Nate in our callings we can continue to shepherd you as long as the Lord enables us to do so. I also thank Pastor Dancy for the guidance he has brought to St. Peter’s and to me. Likewise, I appreciate the support during this process that I received from our schools’ administrators, Chris, Barb, and Alyssa. I cannot thank the faculty and staff of our St. Peter’s ministry enough for their prayers and advice. Many of the conversations with you, our leaders, and members have been comforting and uplifting. Please, continue to pray for all our church workers in the mission we all work toward together.


Concerning calls and vacancies, there are about 600 congregations looking for a pastor at this point. Please, lift them and St. Paul’s Clay Center, Kansas up in your petitions to God that He may fill their needs. Continue to pray for church workers to be called to the field and for our own young people who are listening to that calling to serve the Lord in churches. 


May God continue to bless the ministry He has in store for all of us at St. Peter’s,


Pastor McDowell
