Church Staffing Update

The quarantine hasn't slowed us down. As we announced a few weeks ago, Pastor Eric's role in our denomination has changed. And with this change comes help. Sovereign Grace Churches is sending him an administrator. 

Melissa Goins is relocating to Orange.

She has served our denomination in various roles for years. Now she is going to work with Pastor Eric as he leads our denomination in church planting, communications, the Western US region, and the SGC Leadership Team. And best of all Melissa will be joining our church.

We plan to introduce you to her on Sunday. For now, she sends her greetings:

I am eagerly anticipating serving in this new role and getting to build with you all at Sovereign Grace Church of Orange. The Lord has been at work in every single detail. I grew up in California and have family in San Diego. I have a longstanding friendship with the Turbedsky family. I am excited about serving our denomination of churches in new ways. I have a deep affection for your local church and already know many of you. Though the decision has not been simple or easy, I believe he is indeed calling me to join you. So it is with faith in him that I embark on this new adventure. It’s all for his glory! “But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us” (2 Cor 4:7).

Melissa plans to arrive in Orange the first week of June. Please pray for her as she moves across the country during the pandemic. Let us thank God for Melissa and our partnership with SGC and for the great honor it is to play a small part in God's great plan to spread the joy of Jesus to the ends of the earth.
