Bay Area Church Plant Growing
May 6, 2009
Nine people were baptized recently in a hotel swimming pool in Daly City, California, a San Francisco suburb. The new believers were administered the sacrament by Rev. Richard Mirpuri, who pastors Word of Grace (Alliance) Church in Chicago, Illinois. Mirpuri was in the city-by-the-bay to witness an installation ceremony for Rev. Samuel Garcia. Garcia has been assigned the position of resident pastor for Word of Grace in South San Francisco.
”The water baptism took place at the pool of the Hampton Inn in Daly City,” said Mirpuri. The nine communicants included a family of five.
The Word of Grace church plant was led by lay leaders with assistance from Mirpuri, who would visit regularly. “But the lay leaders kept the ministry going and growing,” said Mipuri. “We’re very happy to have Pastor Samuel Garcia join the church as pastor.”
The church plant will celebrate its third anniversary in March.
