Enrique and Jerrilyn Sanchez Serve As New Pastors
Enrique and Jerrilyn Sanchez are pastors for the Kotzebue Church of God. Enrique moved on from a counselor position at Maniilaq Assocation to pastor the New Beginnings Church of God. Jerrilyn is manager for the Kotzebue branch of Wells Fargo. They have two young sons, Elyon and Emmanuel.
One of the innovative ideas that pastor Sanchez has implemented is the "Bread Outreach". Some church members bake bread to hand out during home visits, others go to people's homes to give the bread away letting the community know that the church is praying for them. At the same time a group of prayer warriors stay at the church and intercede on their behalf.
Another monthly event that pastor Sanchez instituted is the monthly singspiration where different denominations are welcomed to the Sarah Evak Worship Center to perform gospel songs. Whenever it is held, it is attended by many from Kotzebue and even from outlying villages. At present, in 2009, the singspiration is on hold, but interest has been shown in implementing it and may be back by popular demand.
So far, they have been doing an excellent job with the new church.
