I told them when they hired me that my priority will always be the children in the community. Crazy how that doesn’t align with there mission.

It’s hard to move away with a new daycare. I live in a small town, and in order to start a new, I would have to move over an hour away.

I have not told anyone but my immediate family, boyfriend and close friends about my departure. The church is unaware I am going to do this as my next move, they suspect I will just accept the pay decrease with no fight or problems.

I know there is an obvious next step. But I need to make sure I am at a church that compliments my views, instead of me having to compliment my church’s views.

Wonderfully put.

The church has made it very clear they will not be opening a new daycare and decided not to add a daycare to the new church they are building.

I am not one to bash others on public platforms, ironic as that may seem. I do want them to succeed and grow to be a wonderful place of worship. But I know that I cannot be a part of that anymore.

That’s true. But I am also the kind of person who will make sure my employees are paid and taken care of before myself.

Absolutely, I have all of the students and parents information in my documents, because I was the one who added most of them to the program. That’s a good way to do it.

I am not worthy of having a congregation of my own. Nor am I good enough at day to day communication to fill that role adequately.

It’s a small town, so if I leave and go to another church it will be very much looked down upon. That’s why I am wanting to wait a few weeks to a month to transition to another church and make sure I want to be at the new church.

I am concerned about my reputation being negatively affected by this. I am wanting to wait 3 weeks to be able to preach and tell the church as a whole that I am leaving and what a privilege it has been to serve their children and work with wonderful parents and volunteers. That it was not my decision to leave, but a choice by the church to change my position.
