Dr. Gary J. Westra

It is with great joy and praise to God that we announce that NSCBC has called Dr. Gary J. Westra to be our next senior pastor, by an overwhelmingly positive vote of the congregation on June 14, 2009. Gary and his wife, Mary, will return to the North Shore in early July and Gary will begin preaching in August. Please keep the Westra family in prayer during this time of transition.

The Pastoral Search Committee would like to extend our deep and heartfelt thanks to the church for your support, encouragement, prayers and enthusiastic endorsement of our sense of God’s strong and clear leading in bringing Gary to us as our next pastor.  We greatly appreciate and are very humbled by your willingness to invest yourselves in this process with us in so many ways.

It has been a high honor and privilege to serve such a committed, caring and passionate community of believers as NSCBC.  We believe the Lord has great things in store for us under Gary’s care and leadership, and we eagerly anticipate giving ourselves fully to the work of His kingdom in the months and years to come.

With deep gratitude and great joy,

Your Pastoral Search Committee
