SEPTEMBER 2024 - Pastoral Transition Update

Pastor Search Update - September, 23.


The Pastor Search Team is off to a great start! We've had several productive meetings where we've focused on building a strong, unified team and laying a solid foundation for the important work ahead.


In mid-October, we’ll meet with FBC staff, including Pastor Barry, to gain more insight as we continue to refine our search. The feedback we’ll receive from this weekend’s (Sept. 28th) Healthy Church Assessment will also be a key part of shaping the process, and we’re looking forward to using that valuable input to move forward with clarity and purpose.


One of our goals is to keep the congregation informed every step of the way. You can expect regular updates not just here on the website, but also through our email announcements. As we continue this journey, your prayers and encouragement are deeply felt, and we’re excited to see how God will guide us in finding the right pastoral leadership for our church.


Thank you for your ongoing support and involvement in this important process!
