____________________________
Next month brings big change for one Monticello family. The Nobles, Jeff, Carolyn and their children Sam and Adelyn, will be moving to Blacksburg, Virginia where Jeff will become pastor of Northstar Church. Â
The family has called Monticello home for 15 years, beginning in 1995 after graduating from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.  His role began his influence in the community when he began serving as a campus minister at the Baptist Collegiate Ministry at UAM. In 2003, after 8 years, Jeff resigned from his position and embarked on a new calling as pastor and church planter. He started Journey Church which has continued to grow. As a bivocational church planter, he also started a business, Noble Design and then in 2006 this website, MonticelloLive.com.
Over the years, he has preached in many churches throughout southeast Arkansas. He has also demonstrated a passion for missions, traveling around the world, including China, the Dominican Republic, Canada, Maine, Colorado and Poland. But of equal importance to Jeff and Carolyn is their deep involvement in the lives of others right here in their own community. He, along with Carolyn, is committed to personal discipling, each helping others on their own faith journey.
Jeff, Carolyn, Sam, and Adelyn will be greatly missed by many as they leave Monticello. As a community that has experienced life with the Nobles, we hate to see them go, yet are excited with them as they settle into this new life adventure 824 miles east.

Jeff said, “We are so grateful for the time we’ve been able to share with the people of Monticello. We were truly blessed to live and minister here. Our deepest hope is that our lives have been a testimony to the love and joy of following Christ.”Â

The Nobles will be greatly missed. They have impacted a lot of lives here in Monticello, including ours. I know that God has moved them on to Virginia for even a greater job and for more lives to be helped just because of their presence.
The Nobles will be greatly missed in the community. It was a pleasure working with Jeff at school events. Good luck my friend.
Best of luck to the Noble family….you will be GREATLY missed.
