Next Step in Call Process
Council met with Pastor Sara Anderson, Associate to the Bishop on Wednesday night. We are ready to begin the next step in the Call Process for a new pastor. Starting on June 24, and lasting only three weeks, council is asking every member to go online, and complete the Congregational Assessment Tool, or CAT. The CAT asks 80-100 questions about Immanuel – who we currently are, and where we would like to go in the future with a new pastor. It takes about 20 minutes to complete; and is your chance to make your voice heard. 

The results of the CAT help form our resume, so to speak. This resume, formally called our Ministry Site Profile, will be shared with any pastors who might consider interviewing here at Immanuel. We are asking for full participation from every member of the church. A link to the survey will be sent to you via email very soon. 

You have only until July 13 to complete the CAT, so please be intentional about filling it out and sharing your wishes. Then, on Wednesday July 18 at 6:30 p.m, here at Immanuel, Pastor Sara will interpret the results with council and all of you who are able to attend.

It’s exciting to be moving forward purposefully, thoughtfully, and quickly. Please look for many more details in the eNews and on the council bulletin board. And be thinking about what you want to say on the CAT, beginning Sunday!
