LARRY McGUIRE
Mission Center PRESIDENT
As Mission Center President, I am called to work with others to discern and live into God’s unfolding presence in our gathered communities. There will be times of community activities, times of testing and experimenting, times of pastoral support, times of waiting and discerning God’s movement to reveal the next faithful step.
As the Mission Center President, I serve with others in leadership to model shared leadership and living the rhythm of spiritual formation, relationship building, and responding to needs and opportunities in the Pacific Southwest International Mission Center. It is also important to support our many diverse gathered communities and those called to shepherd disciples and communities to experience what it means to belong to authentic, Christ-centered communities of joy, hope, love, and peace.
Finally, I am tasked with helping ensure alignment with all our Enduring Principles and ways we function in gathered communities.
