Submitted / The Outlook New Stone Ridge Baptist Church pastor Brett Self, second right right, with his family Jordan, Kristi, Brady and Korey.

Stone Ridge Baptist Church pastor Brett Self is transitioning into his new role and having to be creative in how he approaches his congregation. Sunday was his first sermon, which he had to pre-record, and Self finds it a little tough to not have the personal connection with members during this time of COVID-19 stay-at-home mandate.

“Not being able to do what I would normally do — visiting people, having lunch, going to the hospital to pray with people — it’s all relational and I can’t do that right now,” Self said.
