We have finished the Discernment Study process
and the written report was approved by the Session this last Monday.
What does that mean? The report has been sent to the Church Development Team of Highlands Presbytery. This committee meets in September and once they approve the report, it will be sent to the Committee on Ministry of Highlands Presbytery. The Committee on Ministry will then guide the Session in nominating a Pastoral Nominating Committee (PNC). The PNC will create our “Job Description” and that form will be uploaded to the Denomination’s Church Leadership Connection website.
Searching for a pastor: there are several ways for the PNC to interview potential pastors. Pastors can send their information form directly to the search committee, the Presbytery staff can help connect pastors to the search process, or the PNC can reach out to pastors and ask them to consider interviewing.
Our hope is that by the new year, the PNC will be ready to start interviewing pastors.
