Session's Response to Pastor Mike's Retirement Announcement

January 21, 2024


Dear Church Family,


As Session, we feel the deepest appreciation for Mike’s 20+ years of service to our church. We will miss him and Amy dearly and wish them both the very best in retirement.


At the same time, we eagerly trust what God has next for our church. By identifying our next senior pastor through a co-pastor process, our hope is that SBPC can have a seamless hand-off from one generation of leadership to the next. Furthermore, we hope that the excitement and anticipation of our next chapter will continue our recent momentum and foster even further growth in the lives of our members, friends, and neighbors.


We are eager to see everyone at the Congregational Meeting on January 28 as we continue together on the journey of becoming the church that God has called us to be.

Sincerely,

Session of Solana Beach Presbyterian Church
