A New Pastor In Town
We are so happy to announce that we will have a new associate pastor as of July 1st. Steve Carlson will be joining Pastor Simon and the rest of the Placers to be our young adult/collegiate/youth pastor and be involved as a worship leader and working with our worship teams as well. We are very excited to have Steve and his wife, Daisy come on board with us, and are looking forward to this tremendous blessing for our young people! If you have a passion for working with this age group, or are a youth, collegiate or young adult and are interested in ministry in this area, please talk to Pastor Simon...and soon, to Pastor Steve!
We encourage you to challenge God to be faithful as well! We are about to bring on our new associate pastor, and that will raise our church budget by about 50%. We believe that this addition will be an incredible blessing to our church and our community, but we ask you to consider this faith venture and join us in this step as you return your tithes and offerings.
