Search Commitee Update



The search committee has enthusiastically been receiving several pastor candidates interested in our church over the past weeks. We are working together to review and discern each on behalf of our congregation and look positively on a sooner than later outcome.

It’s most important to share with you a common theme amongst the candidates in the UCC church, being of social peace and justice for all as Jesus taught the last shall be first and first shall be last. This theme is not one of political opinion and of who is right or wrong. It is one of the churches coming together in unison, love, kindness, and awareness of the needs of others around us where we can lend ourselves in support and be a beacon of God’s love and light out to our community.
