Yes, its true, Greg Davis has resigned as worship leader and is moving on. Greg has been a real blessing to our church and has lead worship here for more then five years, he will be missed.
Greg’s departure comes as a surprise to all of us. Below is all the communication that we have had with Greg about his leaving, also I have posted my response to his first email. Greg has never been one to deal with these type of things in person, so we just have to take his e-mails at face value and the only information we have.
We all love and appreciate Greg and all he has done at our fellowship. Yet we wait with excitement to see what the Lord is going to do in our worship ministry. In the mean time all those involved with worship have committed to do whatever is needed to help out in leading.
Blessings and Grace

1st E-MAIL FROM GREG,
Dear Rich,
I hope everything has gone well these last two weeks. Rich, I am confused right now and don’t know if I want to be a worship leader any longer. So many things go into feeling this way and I don’t want to go into that. I just don’t have the heart to continue any longer. I have been praying and seeking the Lord on this decision and that is why I have taken the last two weeks off. I believe He is telling me that He has something new for me, but I don’t know that for a fact which makes me sad and nervous at the same time. I don’t know where I will end up, but I need to step out in faith. Rich, thank you for all you and the church have done for me these last 6 years. I will always consider you a good friend and a blessing in my life.
Blessings,
Greg
RESPONSE FROM PASTOR RICH
Greg,
Well, I can’t say I’m surprised by your e-mail, I can’t say the Spirit told me, but I had a feeling that this was coming. Of course when I saw your equipment was gone Sunday, I knew. Greg, in your e-mail, you said you were confused, so if you want to wait a few weeks to be sure that’s ok — and really, I would rather not have you resign, but I do love you and respect what you feel you must do.
Anyway, what do you want to do as far as telling the team and the congregation? I think it would be best if you told them in person, but whatever.
I would hope and pray that our friendship and even your relationship with HSF would continue. You have been greatly used by the Lord and a real blessing to me personally. Please let me know how you want to handle things.
Grace and Mercy,
Rich <><
GREG’S RESPONSE TO ABOVE
Rich,
Thanks for your love and friendship. This is something that has been brewing for a while and has come to a head recently. The confusion is because I don’t want to do it because I have always felt HSF was my home.
I have been praying about it a lot and believe this is the only way to solve the problem. I am not very good with personal “goodbyes” so I will email the team with my resignation today. As for the congregation, I will leave that in your hands to do as you see fit. Tell anyone who asks, that I love them.
Blessings,
Greg, Daniel and Catie
THE E-MAIL TO THE WORSHIP TEAM
Greetings everyone,
Due to personal reasons, I am resigning my position as worship leader. Let me say that I love each and every one of you and it has been an honor to lead worship with all of you and it has been great to get to know each of you. I have led worship for HSF for almost 6 years and it has been a real blessing in my life.
I wish I could have done this in person, but I’m not very good at goodbyes.
Love,
Greg, Daniel and Catie
