We are pleased to announce that we have successfully candidated & hired Ben Lahring. Here is a welcome letter from Pastor Ben:
Dear Clairmont Community Church family,
I want to express my heartfelt thanks for the support, encouragement and trust you have shown me in calling me to serve as your pastor. It is a privilege to walk with you in faith, and I am deeply grateful for the welcome my wife and I have received.
As I settle into this new role, I want you to know that my office at the church is open. I will be in the building
Tuesday through Friday, and you are welcome to stop by at any point during the day: whether to talk, pray together or simply say hello. You can also reach me anytime at
ben.lahring@clairmontcommunitychurch.com.
If you were not able to attend any of my candidating weekends, please know that I genuinely welcome questions and conversations about my sermons or teaching. I believe that we can hold differing perspectives and still remain unified as a loving, Christ-centered community reflecting the EFCC motto: “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, charity; in all things, Jesus Christ.”
I am here as a servant leader and will do my very best, by God’s grace, to honour the faith and confidence you have placed in me.
With gratitude and in Christ’s love,
Pastor Ben
