Episcopal minister leads mission to establish church in Southeast Florida

From the Palm Beach Post:

The Episcopal Diocese of Southeast Florida recognized the growth of the western communities and anticipated the establishment of the Callery-Judge Grove community, so it committed her to the area to establish a ministry.

She is living in a home bought by the church that also serves as her office and meeting space for the congregation.

A group she calls The 15:58 is helping her to get a church established in the community. “They are named after Corinthians 15:58,” Ostlund said. “Basically, the Scripture says that if you keep working, your work will pay off.”

Even though the county voted against the development of Callery-Judge Grove, their future in the area is uncertain, but their faith remains strong.

“It’s in God’s hands,” Ostlund said. “We don’t know what will unfold, but we’re still planning on launching the church next February.”
