Q&A with Pastor Landon

What motivates you to wake up and “go” to work?

Church had such an impact on my life growing up. I was able to learn about God and how much I am loved. I formed relationships with people of all ages, served others locally and on mission trips, learned music and went on handbell tours, and more! All of these experiences shaped me into the person I am today. I “go” to work each day to help those growing up at Shallowford have the same experience I was lucky enough to have growing up. I want our Shallowford children to know that they are loved by God just as they are.

What does an “average” work week look like for you?

Meetings… lots and lots of meetings. Right now, I am preparing to welcome home 100+ kiddos for our 2021 Vacation Bible School at Shallowford. I also hope to add driveway visits into my week so I can continue meeting SPC children and families:

Other weekly responsibilities include:

Weekly Sunday School Prep
In-Person Wednesday FAITH Program
Sunday Worship
Music class with Mrs. Anne, etc.

What has been your most meaningful project during the pandemic?

Joining you at Shallowford! It may have seemed crazy to take a new call in the middle of a pandemic, but I am thrilled to be at Shallowford. I have enjoyed social distanced visits to meet SPC children and families and look forward to meeting those of you who I have not yet had a chance to meet in person.
