Lopez Send-Off Sunday

OUR FIRST EVER PC FAMILY

Sunday was a big day. We commissioned the Lopez family for the next chapter of life and ministry: a year in Louisville, KY at the Sovereign Grace Pastors College. A time of being equipped by God’s word through God’s people to come back and serve us in yet greater ways.

We said a temporary “goodbye” believing it would lead to many more gospel “hellos” here in Santa Ana. We honored dear friends. We shared sweet memories and shed a few tears. We thanked God for his great grace. We entrusted him with the future of this family and our church. And we sent the Lopezs out in faith. Because we believe Jesus is in this and we can’t wait to see what he does next. As he works in this family, prepares a man for pastoral ministry, and uses the investment of a year away to bless our church for years and years to come.

Enjoy a few snapshots of this significant moment in our life together. Thank God for all the grace he’s given us through the Lopezs. Then look to the future expectant that he’s got even more grace to give.
