We invite you to read the following announcement from Pastor Steve McHan, Pastor for Administration.
Dear Azure Hills Church Family,
I am announcing a change in my job description. Since the onset of my vestibular dysfunction six months ago, I have continued to experience limited function. Last week I requested the Southeastern California Conference to open the Azure Hills Administrative Pastor position to another qualified individual.
Watching our church campus improvement projects materialize is rewarding. I’m especially grateful to Arthur Blinci and others who stepped forward to ensure church life has continued without interruption during my disability. While I see steady improvement, my recovery is not at a pace that makes these temporary administrative adjustments sustainable into the unknown future. My love for this church family and my commitment to your best interest eased this decision. Not being able to function at 100 percent has been the most difficult challenge for me to accept.
I am blessed that both SECC and Azure Hills leadership support my desire to remain with Azure Hills as part-time pastoral staff. Serving you as a member of our pastoral team gives me great joy and I look forward to continuing life’s journey with you. I remain God’s servant and want nothing more than to see His Son face to face. Let us together commit our love and faithfulness to Him until that day.
Pastor Steve McHan
We know that you have been praying for Pastor Steve for the past six months and we thank you for your prayers and support. We are so grateful that we get to have Pastor Steve on our team part time! We are also grateful that Arthur Blinci will remain Interim Facilities Manager until a new Administrative Pastor is found. We will let you know when we hear from Southeastern California Conference about the details of the Search Committee Process. Thank you for your ongoing prayers. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Pastor Tara VinCross,
Senior Pastor
