How did I end up in Corona?

After I left the church in Chino, I took some time to regroup. I had some questions. I went and talked to some friends. They were not surprised that I left. They said, "yeah. They are pretty liberal. We thought that might be a problem for you, but we weren't sure." I spent the month reassessing where I had been at both places. What went right, what went wrong, what went in a different direction, etc. At this point, Ontario 1st had hired a new worship leader. Dan was a pretty nice guy. He told me that his father in law really needed someone to help him out. He had heard that I was not with a church and his father in law was trying to do it all himself. I told him that I didnt know, I'd "pray" about it. I said I just want at least a month off. He told me where the church was and to check it out. After about 3 weeks, I went by myself to Canyon Community Church of the Nazarene. It was a very small church right off the 15 freeway, not to far from Ontario. I went to the 9:30 adult Sunday School. They were mentioning somethings in Sunday School that I had just dealt with at UMC Chino. I spoke up and said how some churches are very liberal and brought up a few points. Then I attended the 10:45 service. There was about a 15 minute break between the sunday school and the actual service. I guess it was in those 15 minutes, the pastor knew that I was there. He told me that he knew who I was. He said Dan told him to watch for me. Then he invited me out to breakfast on Tuesday. I was working the graveyard shift at my job and told him when I could meet with him. We met and things went great. Next Sunday, I met with the church board and they hired me. You know how I said that I need at least one month off? It was exactly one month. Right down to the very day.
It was a fresh start. This is what we needed. No preconceived ideas. Freedom to run things the way the LORD was to lead. I didn't have a large group. The first time I met every body, there was 7 kids in the room. Then it dropped to 5 on Sunday and then 2 on Wednesday. For quite a while it was just Michelle and Nick. Occasionally, we'd have a visitor or two. I just really felt like this is where God had called me to be and if I only had two kids in the youth group, then I would teach the two kids. Then we had more people start coming. It was exciting times.
We lived in Ontario for the first two years that I was serving at the Nazarene church in Corona. We eventually moved to Corona to be closer to the church. I was still working for Marmon/ Keystone but the drive wasn't very much further.
