Pastoral Transition at First Church
Make Sure Your Voice Is Heard!
Speak with the Discovery Team
We have received the results from our Pastoral Search Survey and are pleased to report that there were 120 submissions. The response was 70% female; 80% over the age of 45; and 70% people with over ten years at the church. The Discovery Team wants to make sure that we have heard all voices, especially younger and newer participants at First Church.
If you have not had ample opportunity to express your perspective on who we are as a church and who we are called to be, as well as the qualities that will make for an excellent new pastor, please contact Martha Mueller Cook (marthamuellercook@gmail.com). She will arrange for a conversation between you and a Discovery Team member.
Please reach out before the end of May!
