PASTORAL TRANSITION UPDATE
On behalf of the CLT we are honored to present our nominee for the position of OroNaz Lead Pastor.
As our nominee for Lead Pastor at OroNaz, Pastor Dar will be preaching and sharing her heart this Sunday, February 9. The Church Leadership Team will facilitate a Q&A time following her message. If you would like to submit a question ahead of time, you can fill out the form on this page. There will also be paper forms you can turn in on Sunday morning before worship.
Check out this video from Pastor Darren Reed, Sacramento District Superintendent, as he encourages us as we move into this season of transition.
