Congratulations, Rev. Sonja Haller!

November 09, 2025 in Conference News

On Sunday, November 9, we had the honor of worshipping and ordaining Rev. Sonja Haller.

What a sacred and joy-filled moment for all of us! After worship, we gathered to capture the smiles, the tears, the family love, and the community that stands with her. Surrounded by her beautiful family, her church family, her pastor Rev. Dr. Tom Martinez, and our Associate Conference Minister Rev. Dr. Derrick Elliott, the Spirit was truly in the room.

We also extend our deep appreciation to COM A and their representatives present today—thank you for your wisdom, presence, and support in this meaningful milestone.

Rev. Haller, we celebrate you.

Your calling is clear. Your light is steady. Your heart is ready.

And yes, the best is yet to come.

“Being confident of this, that the One who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

– Philippians 1:6

Congratulations, Rev. Sonja Haller. We are rejoicing with you.
