A Moment with your Mission Centre President Team

3/8/2023

​We received the announcement this week that Steve Veazey has begun his retirement process as the president of our church. He will have served as the leader of our Community of Christ for twenty years, having offered us three revelations we have included in our Doctrine and Covenants: 163, 164, and 165. Steve has brought a wealth of pastoral experience to the role and has blessed our church worldwide, both as an apostle and as a president. This is bringing up so much warm feeling for the three of us, and we want to express our appreciation!
 
From Shannon: What stands out to me is Steve’s calm presence and grounded leadership style. I appreciate how he has shifted focus to us being a prophetic people instead of a people with a prophet. I also admire him for being so open about his own discernment processes. I know family is important to Steve, so I hope he gets to enjoy a relaxing retirement with lots of family time.
 
From Gwyn: Steve Veazey is gentleness personified.  I have never personally met Steve but have seen him up close.  My overall impression is that he is a man of quiet persuasion, gentle demeanor and kindness that flows out from him.  Steve has led our church through some heavy conversations and he never seemed to falter.  
 
From Kat: My overwhelming impression of Steve is kindness. I admire Steve’s patience in the face of dissent during business meetings, and the way he greets people amid his busy schedule with deep hospitality. I also admire his vision, remembering his statement eight years ago that the work of spiritual formation is the future of our church. The phrase from revelation that I am truly grateful for is in Doctrine and Covenants 163:9b, ending: “Be vulnerable to divine grace.”
​
We are so grateful that this isn’t goodbye, just a chance to reflect and show appreciation. What part of his legacy is bearing fruit in your life? How can you also be part of the legacy of our church? We will carry this time of transition in prayer and be open to the work that God will continue to inspire in us.

Yours in Christ,
Gwyn, Kat, and Shannon
