Nick Poole - Allison Park Church

Listening and hearing from Nick Poole is encouraging to see someone be able to do something right out of college, that many people are not able to, especially in church planting. And it is encouraging to see someone be able to be involved in something right after college and also it being church planting, something that I am interested in. I appreciate Nick Poole’s humbleness in his position. It seems like it would be easy to kind of get a little proud when going around to other churches and looking to see what they are doing right and wrong for a job. It could become much of a pride thing in doing that or it could be very difficult with people in the other church congregations as well. But Nick seemed very humble in his job and his passion to help church plants. It is kind of amazing to see someone who has just graduated from college three years ago and now being the pastor of church planting at a church, where his job is to go around to evaluate the churches. But his humbleness and personality allows him to be able to be effective at what he does. It shows how important being humble is and that is one thing that I know I need to work on in my own life as well. Also what he said about the one thing he regrets is not being involved with as many internships and hands on experiences and volunteering. And this is someone who was heavily involved with volunteering at different churches while in college, but still wished he did more. I have usually been involved with churches my first two years at school, but this past year I have kind of taken a little break from volunteering at churches and have been trying to focus on studying, but I have been realizing the importance of volunteering, but this just enforces that even more.
