Not the beginning of the end but a new beginning for Cochran Pastor of Students.

It was the last Monday of the month, so House of Grace church in Cochran held their regular UnAshamed youth service.  Pastor of Students Shane Allen delivered a message.  But this was a special service.  It was the last message spoken by Allen.

But neither he, nor wife Amanda are leaving the church.  She'll be the new Pastor of Students.  She'll be speaking February 15 during the 10:30 am youth  takeover service.  Shane says he'll be pursuing a multitude of ministry opportunities including working with the church's men's ministry, mentoring middle school students, and working toward resuming missionary work.
