Grace Presbyterian Church Welcomes New Senior Pastor

After almost two years of searching after the retirement of Pastor Roger Reaber, Grace Presbyterian Church is delighted to introduce their new senior pastor, the Rev. Mark Burnham. At the beginning of April, he and his family, including two dogs and the family cat moved from his previous church in New Jersey at this uncertain time of pandemic and shelter in place. While driving cross country, the family even had to reroute to avoid a tornado. Rev. Burnham arrived for work at the church campus on Wednesday, April 15. Although the church is not having in-person worship services at this time, they have developed a recorded worship which is available to anyone on the website, www.gracewc.org.

Rev. Burnham is a native New Yorker who once pastored a church in Los Gatos, California. His desire was to ultimately return to California. His extensive career has led him to serve in Associate and Senior Pastor roles in both small and large churches in Florida, Alabama, North Carolina, California, New Jersey and now back to California.

The congregation is excited for this new beginning. Due to the pandemic, They are a figuring out a new way to work, support each other, and continue to share the good news of Jesus Christ. They look forward to the time when they can be together in person again and at that time invite their neighbors to join them for worship at 10AM on Sunday mornings.

While the church office is closed, we are still here working and serving the congregation and community. Reach us anytime by email: gracepreschurchwc@gmail.com or phone: 925-935-2100.
