Pastor Transition News

Letter to the Congregation from the Elders


As shared in the worship services on Sunday, March 19, it is with deep sadness that we announce that Pastor Raj Pillai, after much prayer, has discerned that his season at Damascus Road has come to a close. While we grieve his decision, we fully support both him and his family as they enter into a new season. Rajendra has faithfully served on staff for close to 19 years and will be deeply missed. His last day is April 8, 2023. If you missed the service, we strongly encourage you to watch it here (the Elder statement is at the 39:30 mark):


Continue to pray for the Pillai family, our leadership circles and the Damascus Road community. While we grieve, we’re also trusting that with Jesus, the best is always yet to come. Grateful to be on this journey together as we proclaim Christ and help everyone become mature in Him. (Col. 1:28-29)
