In May, New Hope Church in Rancho Cordova, CA had a members’ meeting during which a new head pastor was chosen. Gennadiy Borisovich Gavelovskiy, who was the head pastor of the church for the previous four years, asked to be released from ministry due to family reasons.
Anatoliy Petrovich Golodnyak became the new head pastor. This decision was a logical result of the changes that took place in the New Hope Church over the last four years. Over the previous three years, Anatoliy Petrovich served as the assistant to the head pastor, and two years ago was ordained as a pastor. His brief biography is located on the association’s website.
May the Lord bless your ministry, Anatoliy Petrovich!
