The first Sunday Gathering affected by the pandemic was to be a festive day as we installed two new elders in Karis Church. Those two men, Seth Freeman and Jeff Carson, have been serving faithfully since that time (and way before that, as members). We’re now going to officially bring them in front of our congregation and install them on Sunday, August 16th.

Seth Freeman and his wife Annie has been a part of Karis Church since the very early days. He is a physician with MU Health Care. They have two sons, Jackson and Luke.

Jeff Carson and his wife Angela have been a part of Karis since 2016. Jeff works for the Missouri Baptist Convention, leading up Missio Dei at Mizzou. The couple has a son, Micah, along with three daughters - Avery, Ella, and Leah.

Our gatherings are now outside and at 6 p.m. We’ll have our normal time of singing, a sermon from God’s word, along with a celebration of the Lord’s Supper. We’ll just cap off the night by bringing these men up front and allowing them to make vows before us and before the Lord. Join us on August 16th for this great day in the life of our church. If you’ve not read it, here’s our how-to guide for gathering with us outside.
