Stephen Small, former ISS Supervisor of the
Tyrone area Middle and High School, has moved to Potter County to become a
pastor.
According to Small, he made the switch because
it was Gods calling for him.
“I am glad I finally took the steps I needed
to do what God wants of me. It will be challenging, but life is a challenge,
and my family and I are enjoying every bit of it!”
His
entire family approved before moving and all of them seemed to be enjoying the
changes. Small stated that it wasn’t a hard decision at all when answering the
call to be a Pastor he knew it could take them anywhere in central PA.
Being a
Pastor has a long list of requirements like preaching, teaching, visiting sick,
baptisms, weddings and funerals, or to being available to help with things like
painting or seal blacktop with the church members. Small has also started full
time college online and is currently coaching his 5-6 year soccer team.
“Pastoring
four churches brings huge responsibility,” said Small, “People call you to
speak or pray at public events, and you are expected to know everything and
everybody.”
He is very
busy and everyone looks closely at him because he is a Pastor.
“Integrity
has been important to me ever since I chose to follow Jesus, and it has
encouraged me to start college that I have put off for many years.”
