Welcome Paul Rafferty To The Eldership

Church family, today we celebrate a significant and joyful moment in the life of The Open Church. We are thrilled to officially welcome Paul into the eldership of our community.

Paul has faithfully walked with Christ and served among us with humility, wisdom, and a heart for people. His love for God’s Word, his courage to lead, and his compassion for others have been a consistent encouragement to our church family.

Eldership is not a position of status, but a calling to servant-leadership. It is about shepherding God’s people with grace, truth, and faithfulness. We believe Paul embodies this calling and will continue to help us walk together in Christ, staying rooted in the Word and alive in the Spirit.

Let us uphold Paul and his family in prayer as he steps into this new season of leadership. May he be strengthened with wisdom, anointed with courage, and filled with the Spirit as he serves alongside our eldership team for the glory of God and the building up of His Church.

Welcome, Paul. We are grateful for you.
