An Evening of Transition

Steve Hamer stands with pastors from across Ireland and abroad.

Kyle and Wendy Holland have been involved in ministry here in Europe for twenty five years. It has been such a joy to have their family with us at DCF for the past two years. While serving as pastor at DCF, Kyle has been an encouraging leader and a passionate visionary for the work God is doing across the country as a whole. Having been so blessed by his leadership, we were honoured to bless him as he begins a new season joining in the leadership team at Cornerstone Christian Church in Dun Laoghaire, even as he formally handed the position of DCF pastor to Steve Hamer.

Kyle opens the evening to set in Steve Hamer as Pastor.

On July 10, DCF celebrated this formal setting in of Steve Hamer as Senior Pastor with a special evening service.  Steve and his wife have been active in DCF since it began years ago as a Bible Study with the Gregstons who founded DCF. They are a couple of great integrity and have played a major role in the encouragement of others within the fellowship, as well as having served in various leadership roles. The event was described by Kyle Holland as, "a commisioning to a new level of responsibility."

Tom Burke of GCF, Cork

Harbour Mill House was filled with family, friends, and pastors from multiple churches across the country and abroad for the special evening. Tom Burke of Grace Christian Fellowship in Cork gave a rousing message regarding the importance of unity and support amongst the Christians in this country as well as the impact God is making on the community at large.

Stephen Brooker of RHCC, UK

Stephen Brooker from Red Hill Christian Centre in Stratford-Upon-Avon, part of the Horizon Family of Churches, also gave an encouraging message about building relationships for encouragement and support.

The various leaders then all came forward to lay hands on and pray for the Hamers. Steve then followed with a few words spoken from the heart in appreciation of those who have taught him.

We at DCF are excited for this new adventure with Steve as our Pastor. We are thankful for the smooth transition and cannot wait to see what God will bring about in the time ahead.
