Pastor Search Committee
Since the Senior Pastor Search Committee nominations closed on July 3, the Deacon Nominating Team has been diligently praying over the list name by name. We have also gathered information to properly review the 105 nominees.
We are now working to finalize our recommendation of the nine search committee members. An announcement will be posted one week before the vote. This announcement will also include the names, pictures, and short bios for each of the nine Senior Pastor Search Committee members to help you identify them.
Thank you for your prayers. We have felt them. Please continue praying for our team as we seek God’s guidance to help us identify those individuals who will form our search team. In addition, we ask that you please pray for our nominees as they seek God’s direction if they are called upon to serve.
