November/December Update
As part of the Mission Study process, the congregation is asked to participate in a brief survey. This is the next step in calling a new Senior Pastor/Head of Staff. Your voice matters, and this survey will take approximately 5-10 minutes. Responses will be kept confidential.
Listening Sessions
In addition to the survey, Listening Sessions will be held November 17th and December 8th following both services. If you are in a small group or would like to gather a small group for a Listening Session please contact the church office.
It all started when...
On February 10, 2024 Ernie announced that after much prayer and conversation with his wife Elaine, that he has decided to take early retirement. They plan to move to Raleigh to be closer to family and more involved in their grandchildren’s lives. We are so grateful for Ernie’s 8+ years of leadership as Senior Pastor & Head of Staff.
The Transition Team was formed and approved by Session on February 25, 2024.
“Our goal is to move a quickly as possible, with thoughtful discernment, to locate an appropriate Transitional/Interim Pastor to lead us in preparing for our next Senior Pastor and Head of Staff. We want to be as transparent as possible throughout the process.”
Janet Hurd, Team Chair
