Evie and I have accepted a new ministry assignment at Lawrenceville Church of God (LCOG) in Lawrenceville, Georgia. I will serve as the Family Ministries Pastor and provide leadership to the Nursery, Children, and Youth ministries. We’re extremely excited to join the wonderful staff at LCOG and serve alongside them. Additionally, we’re thrilled for the opportunity to minister with family. Kevin Harris, my brother, is the senior pastor at LCOG. We’re grateful to him and the elders who’ve graciously invited us to be a part of their team.
Leaving GenesisChurch.tv was not an easy decision. We made it after weeks of prayer, fasting, and seeking of wise counsel. When we arrived in Tallahassee a year and a half ago, all the people of Genesis were quick to open their hearts and homes to my family, and for that I’m tremendously thankful. We’ve learned so much from Pastor Brian and the rest of the staff and we’re certainly leaving the richer for it.
On this journey of faith there will be many new challenges, lessons, and victories ahead of us. As they happen, I will continue to share them here. Immediately though, we’re focsued on getting our family moved. So if you know us, and you pray, we’d appreciate your prayers this week. We’ve got a LOT to do and need many logistical things to come together to ensure a smooth move for our family. Today we’re packing up. And on Wednesday (just like in this classic song), we’ll be taking the train to Georgia… WHOO WHOOOOO!
Well figuratively at least. 
You will definitely be missed. Though the idea of a road trip to GA sounds like fun. I just wanted to say that you’ve really made a huge impact on my life. Love you bro.
Hey you guys!! Be safe and know that you will be thought of and missed often!! Take care and keep us posted..
love yas…
I will miss all of you so very much. You’re such awesome people and it was a privilege to be able to work with (and for that short time for) you. Best of luck with the new job!
(I know…no sarcasm! So unlike me eh?)
And just think, you guys are going to be just down the road from heaven – Sanford Stadium. Go Dawgs!!!
Love you guys and look forward to getting to hang more often!

Wow! Another change for the Phil Harris family. God really does alter our plans. A reminder that we’re not our own, simply our responsibility to follow His lead. I know that your time at Genesis was ordained by the Lord, just as your time to come in Lawrenceville is. Great opportunity, working with family! Blessings!
Sounds like its a special move…since you get to be so close to family.
That is a wonderful opportunity. We’ll be praying for you guys!
i didn’t really get a chance to say goodbye…but our internet friendship will continue throughout the ages.
thanks for being super cool.
you know it just hit me… is Mississippi the next and final stop? Not anytime soon or anything but like retirement. I mean you’ve lived in FL (twice), AL, GA, TN (not Evie but you) so you can complete the Harris tour of the dirty south eventually one day.
Can we go to the Casinos? I bet Tony would go!
Hope you guys made it safe.
How’s it going??? Give us an update?!
