Congratulations to Elder Kairis Colter-Chiaji who was installed as the paster of GC Sacramento this month. We are sharing in your joy and will hold you in our prayers for this new role.
She shared this with our Update readers: “This experience is both exhilarating and intimidating. This isn’t one of those spaces where you can get it wrong without consequences. Not with being a guide for relationships with Jesus. Not with representing the Body of Christ in the world. Not with the impact of being in full-time ministry on family. I will certainly lean heavily on the Holy Spirit for guidance for how I act, think, feel, and lead.”
Praise from Regional Director Tim Sitterly:
“After working with Kairis as part of a three-person pastoral team, it was my pleasure to install her as the lead pastor of GC Sacramento. The congregation, which has recently gone through a change of day and location, is now in very good hands for whatever lies ahead.”
We are also celebrating the following elder ordinations. Please join us in congratulating and praying for them.

Dear Pastor Kairis, congratulations and thank you for accepting your call to participate with Jesus in caring for God’s children in Sacramento.
Thank you. I’m grateful to be a part of a denomination that has cultivated and supported leaders in the Sacramento congregation, in all of its forms over the last nearly 65 years.
A sister in Christ. Congratulations.
We are thriled to hear about these new ordinations and about Kairis‘ pastoral installment. The harvest is ready, but we need more field laborers. May the Spirit of the Lord equip you with the needed gifting.
