Garrison Chaffee Installed at PUC Church

The PUC church welcomed Garrison Chaffee as their new youth and associate pastor in April.

Chaffee, an alumnus of PUC, was most recently the associate pastor at the Napa church and said about his new posting, “Coming back to campus has a special meaning for me. PUC provided my first ministry job at a time when I was headed in a different career direction. I fell in love with youth ministry during a summer internship program, and it’s a beautiful full circle moment to be back sharing Jesus on the same campus where I felt God calling me into ministry.”

Chaffee joins Nate Furness, senior pastor of the PUC church, and Lem Garcia, associate pastor. They are passionate, hard workers excited to create a dynamic, community-relevant ministry. The reunited pastors make a complete ministry team.

Furness stated, “Garrison is passionate about connecting young people to Jesus. That passion fits our mission of demonstrating Jesus and preparing young people to serve God.”

Chaffee shares his life with Merilyn, his wife of

22 years. They have three children: Lilliana, a PUC freshman; Makayla, a junior at PUC Prep; and Grayson, a freshman at PUC Prep.
