JOHN

Good Morning! I’m John Branning, the Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church.

I have found that most people really don’t like a challenge. We like to talk about challenges but we really never engage them with enthusiasm and determination. If we are not careful we can even fall victim to negative self-talk, which will turn a challenge into a defeat that we never even attempted. What will set you apart from most people is your willingness to face a challenge head on and to have a willingness that refuses defeat.

Jesus taught his disciples that mountains and valleys are a part of the journey of life. He told them to never give up and that his love for them would be with them even to the end of time.

I hope that you are a risk taker that faces a challenge and says, “I got this.” This will make you an Ironmaker, and the strength that God will give you will be seen by others. I invite you to visit us at Central and take the Ironmaker challenge.
