PRESBYTERY NEWS

CONGRATULATIONS LOVE COMMUNITY CHURCH!!


On Sunday, March 15, Love Community Church celebrated 44 years of ministry in the San Gabriel Valley. This faithful community shares the love of Jesus Christ within the city of Azusa. We are celebrating with this church, led by Pastor Tracey Shenell (CRE)!

CONGRATULATIONS, INTERWOVEN!!


On Sunday, March 1, Interwoven Church became a chartered church in the PC (USA). The celebration worship included communion, six baptisms by immersion, and the ordination and installation of ruling elders! The service was followed by a church meal in what will be a community garden. We are excited to have this new community, led by Pastor Harlan Redmond and six new Christians, join the family of God in San Gabriel Presbytery!
