In our tradition, pastors are not appointed by the denomination, they are called by the local congregation. We don’t believe this means we are “right” and others are “wrong.” It is simply the way churches like ours have operated over the years. We have an opening for a Pastor of Engagement. We have a candidate for that role coming this weekend. Our Personnel Committee recommended him to our Board. Our Board has interviewed him and recommends him to you. Matt will be joining us on Saturday evening at 6:30 PM for a Question and Answer Night. He will be preaching at both services on Sunday morning. In one week, on February 23, we’ll ask our members to vote. Do we believe this is God’s man for our pastoral staff? This is a significant moment for us as a church family. We believe we need help engaging people in life together and for service. We are “hiring” for that specific purpose. Please join us in prayer and participate when and where you are able. If you’d like to submit some questions early, please email them to our office. We’re excited to introduce Matt to you and we trust you’ll be edified and encouraged by his ministry among us.
