The committee met on April 29th and began identifying the Leadership Competencies that will be expected of the new Pastor.
We have also started working on the Ministry Information Form (MIF) that candidates will use to learn about our church. This form will first be approved by Session and Presbytery’s Council on Transitional Ministry (CTM). The MIF will eventually be posted on a national Presbytery website focused on prospective pastors looking for a position.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers.

Lord our God, we seek your light and pray that you shed your light upon us so that we live not only on earth but in you, the eternal and living One. May our lives be drawn into eternity, to the praise of your name, O Father. May we take your Word to heart so that we can become true men and women, able to bear everything in your name and to remain in the love you want to give us. Rouse us to become true men and women at the side of Jesus Christ our Savior, who has been patient in all things with all people. Be with us at all times, Lord our God. You are our help and our refuge. Amen.
I cry to you, Lord; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
Psalm 142:5,
NIV
