About Chelsea

Chelsea is a pastor’s wife and a mother of three sons, ages 8, 5, and 2. Born and raised in Northern Virginia, she holds a Bachelor’s degree from DeVry University in Technical Management and a Graduate Certificate from University of Virginia in Leadership in Human Resources Management. In 2017, she resigned from her successful career in Human Resources to relocate with her family to Elizabeth City where her husband, Jeff Wortman, accepted the position of Minister of Music and Worship at Elizabeth City Evangelical Methodist Church. Not long after relocating, Chelsea sensed the Lord calling her into women’s ministry leadership. A verse that Chelsea learned to live out over the past year is Psalm 37:4: “Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”

Dreaming
Sermon Series

“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” (Ephesians 2:10)

We all look forward to something. The next season of a favorite TV show. A visit from a loved one. Christmas presents. The start (or end!) of a school year. A trip to the mountains or beach.

God created humans to be future-oriented beings whose hopes are rooted in the prospect of a better tomorrow.

God created us to dream.

No, not dream as in what your mind subconsciously thinks about while you sleep, but rather the ability to imagine a future that has not yet arrived, to exercise a Spirit-filled imagination of better days. Indeed, he wants us to see what tomorrow might be and then join him in giving it shape.

Before there was time, God had a plan for our lives. His future is meant to be discovered. He wants his dreams to become our dreams, and once they do the wonder of tomorrow will enliven every moment of today.

You and I are prisoners of time, inexorably captive to the present. Our memories keep alive the past, but our dreams give life to the future. Let’s dream God’s dreams and join him in bringing them into being.
