With the departure of Terry Maples as Associate Pastor for Education and Discipleship, what happens next? The Personnel Team is reviewing, along with the ministerial staff, current position descriptions to determine how best to meet the church’s current and future staff needs. The Personnel Team will also conduct a survey of the congregation in this regard.

In the interim, the existing ministerial staff has temporarily assumed the various responsibilities associated with this position. We anticipate it will be at least several months before the vacancy is filled. This will allow time for the congregation to adjust to Terry’s leaving and to make a healthy decision about the calling of a new person to the staff. Be prepared to fill out the survey coming your way soon.

The search process has begun for the church secretary position being vacated by Linda Almond upon her retirement. The office will be staffed temporarily by some of our able church members and volunteers. Please pray for the Personnel Team, for the staff and for the search processes.
