Crescenta Valley United Methodist Church has announced the appointment of the Rev. Paige Eaves as its new pastor.
Rev. Eaves comes to the La Crescenta/Montrose area from the Pasadena First United Methodist Church where she served for three years as the pastor in charge of youth programming and mission outreach.
Her other duties included connecting the church to Pasadena’s 10-Year Strategy to Alleviate Homelessness and to increase the church’s support of youths in Pasadena public schools.
Eaves is a member of the Board of Directors of the Ecumenical Council of Pasadena Area churches which brings churches together to provide survival services and advocacy for the poor.
Eaves brings a lifetime of commitment to service and discipleship to the Crescenta Valley pulpit.
In addition to a variety of church and community volunteer activities, she has served as the executive director of Sierra Service Project, a United Methodist-related youth mission program during the 1990s and prior to that, worked as an analyst with the World Bank and served in India with Habitat for Humanity.
The new pastor earned a masters degree in public policy from UC Berkeley and a master’s degree in divinity from the Candler School of Theology at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga.
Eaves said she is honored to have been invited to lead the church into its next phase.
“With its warm and beautiful worship space and its deep roots in the community, this church has the potential to be a place of sanctuary and spiritual stimulation to all of its neighbors, both old and new,” the new pastor said.
“I have inherited a terrific, professional worship band, a quality preschool and a deeply committee leadership team. I look forward to learning more about the community and the ways in which this congregation can reach out in service and love,” she said.
Rev. Eaves can be contacted at the church, at 2700 Montrose Ave. in Montrose, at 249-6173 or by e-mail at pastorpaige@cvumc.org.
