In the recent adjustments made to our staff, the personnel committee approved replacing the position of Business Administrator with that of Pastor for Administration. The primary idea with this change is that this new position will oversee the Business Administrator functions of the church (delegating some of those to Ministry Assistants) and have additional pastoral responsibilities that would assist me. Those additional responsibilities include working with administrative committees, the deacon screening & nominating committee, and general worship functions. Since our music & worship ministry has been divided up among several people (Dan Cather, Chuck Olson, Jared Solis and Benjamin Aguirre), who are each spending a portion of their time in specific areas, in addition to their other jobs, we need someone who will provide coordination to music and worship resources such as budget, space, etc.
Paulo Gatan is the individual I have asked to serve in this role as an interim. (Eventually the church will conduct a search process). Paulo has begun his work at a Part-Time level today, October 13. He will move into a Full-Time role at a later time but no later than January 2nd, 2015. Initially his focus will be on administration, which includes overseeing finances, facilities, custodians, IT, etc. Eventually, he will assist me, as Lead Pastor, in areas related to worship coordination also. (He will not be a worship leader). As those changes take place, we will keep you informed.
Paulo is a Calvary member, who has served as an ABF leader and an active deacon. He holds Bachelor of Business Administration and Master of Divinities degrees from De La Salle University in Manila (Philippines) and from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, Lynchburg (Virginia). In addition to church ministry Paulo also has experience as a business partner/manager (Cleveland Health Care, LLC, McAllen, TX, Managing Partner and Privacy Officer; Lighthouse Staffing Solutions, LLC, McAllen, TX, Managing Partner; North Point La Union Corp., San Fernando City, La Union, Philippines, Operations Manager).
Please pray for this time of transition. I am confident that Paulo will be a blessing to our church. We appreciate your patience as we make the necessary changes and adjustments.
