Village Church installs new executive associate pastor

The Reverend Janice Y. Cook has been officially installed as the new executive associate pastor of the Village Community Presbyterian Church in Rancho Santa Fe.

Cook joined the church in 2022 as the interim associate pastor, a role where she “discovered a refreshing energy for the challenging yet deeply rewarding work of parish ministry.” As executive associate pastor, she will supervise all program staff and oversee all church programs as well as assist in the preaching, teaching, and pastoral ministry of the church, according to a news release.

Cook has served as an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church USA for the past 30 years during which time she held ministerial roles at churches in Solana Beach, Rancho Bernardo and La Costa.

“I am filled with excitement and hope as I envision the path that God is paving for both the universal church and this beloved Village Church congregation,”  Cook said in the news release.
