Claremont’s Granite Creek Community Church celebrates the promotion of Joshua Kapchinksy to head pastor of the congregation this weekend and the community is invited to add to join in the congratulations. A celebration takes place on Sunday, March 2 at 10:30 a.m. A bounce house, lunch and chocolate chip cookies will be included in the festivities.

Mr. Kapchinsky is a 1995 graduate of Westmont College in Santa Barbara, which led to working with antiques and ancient manuscripts before he began on staff at Granite Creek 14 years ago. His business expertise and passion for inviting the community to work together for a greater goal has helped birth programs such as a Charity Thrift Store, summer meals & educational programs for the underserved, a Christmas Kid Pack Program, a local food bank and more. 

Granite Creek is located at 1580 N Claremont Blvd. For directions or more information, visit granitecreek.org.
