1 Timothy 3:1-7 Here is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer, he desires a noble task. Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?) He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil's trap.

GREG BOWLES | Greg and his wife Tiffany both grew up in a small town south of Fort Worth,
Texas. They were high school sweet hearts and got married in May of 2003.
They both attended Texas Tech and have a mild obsession with all things from
Texas. They moved to Las Cruces in 2004 to lead the campus ministry of UCC,
known as “Aggies for Christ”.
In Nov 2008 the elders asked Greg to take over the main preaching and
teaching duties at UCC. Greg preaches most Sunday mornings, helps with
vision and direction for UCC and overseas the events and vision for Aggies
for Christ. In March of 2007, Greg and Tiffany were blessed with their first daughter, Brynlee Jean. She has added more joy in their lives than they ever thought possible. |
| Greg’s vision for UCC is twofold: |
| 1. that every person that comes into contact with UCC would see the centrality
of the gospel in all things, that we would live, eat, and breathe the gospel
every day. 2. That we would NOT measure growth by “members”, rather by individuals that are being missional in their communities. In the day to day business of the church, it is tempting for ministers to forget that they are not building their kingdom, but God's kingdom. I want to remember that my job is to lift up His name. The Word promises that "… the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea." Habakkuk 2:14. I want to be part of what God is doing. My ambition is to impact the world for Him and His kingdom. That begins with the part in Las Cruces, but that is only the beginning… |
