Paulo Gatan joined our pastoral staff on a full-time basis at the beginning of this year. His initial title and role was Interim Pastor for Administration and Worship. As such he was to provide pastoral and administrative leadership to finances, facilities and worship staff/leaders. However, his new title and role is now Interim Pastor for Administration and ABFs. Chad Mason has been assigned the worship ministry oversight. (Click here to read about Chad's assignment).
Paulo has been one of the leaders of The Pearl ABF. The Pearl is a growing group that has recently multiplied providing a 9:30 AM and an 11:00 AM group. This is an exciting Bible Fellowship where both deep community and an openness to new comers is experienced week by week. Additionally, the Pearl has been financially contributing to church planting work and relief work in the Philippines. This summer Calvary is sending a group on a short-term mission trip to the Philippines, which The Pearl is helping to lead. As Paulo provides oversight and support to the entire CBC ABF ministry, he comes with proven leadership. We desire ABFs to demonstrate these three dynamics: sound Bible study (up); rich community (in); and missional outlook (out).
Paulo is gifted as a teacher and has a desire to see groups multiply and churches planted. For more information about Paulo you can click here to see a post I wrote a couple of months ago.
Paulo will rely on the able leadership and cooperation of Pastor Benjamin Aguirre as we continue to bring alignment between our English-language ABFs and our Spanish-Language ABFs (Grupos de Conexión).
Please pray for Paulo as he continues to oversee our church's administration ministry while giving direction to our ABF ministry. Pray for our church as we implement these changes and move forward with the great opportunities and resources God has put before us.
Below are some organizational chart images that show how Paulo's role relates to the rest of the staff:
