Step by Step with MCC's Rev. Van Manen

Rev. Norman Van Manen, the new pastor of MCC Anchorage, is starting a spiritual development and leadership class called Step by Step that will replace the Soul Food program on Thursday evenings. 

Step by Step begins on January 8, with fellowship and snacks at 6:30 p.m. and the class at 7 p.m. 

Metropolitan Community Church of Anchorage, a GLBT-inclusive church, appointed Rev. Van Manen to the position of Development Pastor immediately following his visit in mid-December.

"We were greatly encouraged by the overwhelmingly positive response to Rev. Van Manen," wrote Matthew Moak, the Vice-Moderator.  

Rev. Van Manen will officially take the helm of MCC Anchorage on February 15th, 2009. The annual congregational meeting, usually held the third week of January, will be postponed until the new pastor is installed.
