Siftings from the PNC
Question:
Where is the PNC in its work to find our next pastor?
Answer:
During the past 3 months the PNC has been creating our church's Ministry Information Form (MIF). This form includes statistical information, states vision and mission, identifies the kind of leadership we seek (lots of committee discussion about this), and gives us a chance to tell our story. We have written answers to these sorts of questions: how do we live out our church vision, how do we address the needs of our church, and how will a new pastor help us reach our vision and mission goals. We have now completed the MIF draft; the next part of our work is to seek input from Pastor Mark, Session, and the Milwaukee Presbytery Commission on Transitional Ministries (CTM). Once we make final edits, our MIF will go live and become accessible to pastoral candidates. Then, we enter Phase 2 of the process: reading and sifting through Pastoral Information Forms (PIF).
