Christ Community Church Pastor Search
We were blessed to have Rev. Peter Bartuska as our senior pastor for over 10 years. Our church family sincerely appreciate the years we were under his care and are excited to see what God has in store for him in the next chapter of his life.
As we step forward in faith as God guides us through this time of leadership transition, we embrace this moment with enthusiasm and anticipation. We know that God calls his servants from one church to another. This is one of the many ways God keeps our faith in him and not a person or methodology. The world around us is in constant flux, and the church should be willing to meet the changing culture wherever it is with the unchanging reality of the Gospel.
With these things in mind, we have partnered with the nonprofit ministry, McGowan Global Institute (MGI) to assist us with finding our next pastor. With their guidance we have established a pastor search team (PST), composed of church members, elders, and deacons. The PST is commissioned by the church leadership to lead the entire congregation through the identification of our next pastor.
While this search is underway, we are grateful to have guest pastors from local PCA churches, elders, and other qualified preachers to teach God’s Word each Sunday. We trust God’s timing and are excited to let God do a new thing as we continue to Exalt Christ, Equip the Family, and Engage the Community.
If you would like to join us in praying for this process, you can access our weekly prayer requests here . If you would like to see our Church and Pastor Profile, you can view it here .
“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21
Marianne Maarsingh, Children's Ministry Director
Marianne grew up in the Netherlands and came to faith as a young girl. Before graduating from the University of Groningen with a BA degree in Psychology, she completed a gap year at the Evangelische Hogeschool, which built her trust in God. Since 2006, Marianne is very happily married to Harm and they have four wonderful daughters. In 2013, the Lord directed them to move from the Netherlands to South Florida, and since then they have enjoyed being part of Christ Community Church. She loves to spend time outside with her family, sip at a hot tea, and be at the ocean.
Marianne has seen God’s goodness and faithfulness in her life, and she feels honored to tell the next generation about Him. At CCC she is committed to teach children of all ages from the Bible, let them be an active part of the Church Family, come alongside parents in the walk of faith, and spend quality time with each other.
