Preparing Hearts and Plans for the Pastor Search

At the end of 2025, our Lead Pastor, Pastor Jim Blue will retire after more than 21 incredible years of faithful service to SunRise Church. His leadership, vision, and passion have helped shape us into a thriving, welcoming community of faith, and we will forever cherish the impact he’s made in our lives and our church family.
While we will deeply miss him, we are excited to look ahead to the future God has planned for SunRise Church. This search is a vital step in continuing the healthy growth of our congregation and ensuring that our mission to share the Gospel remains strong for generations to come.
Thank you for joining us in prayer as we seek God’s guidance in finding the right leader to shepherd us into this next chapter of ministry and growth. Together, we look forward to the exciting journey ahead!
