December 2024 - Pastoral Transition Update

Pastor Search Update - December, 13.

December 13, 2024

Your pastor search committee met on December 8, 2024 and authorized the following update to the membership of First Baptist Church-Longview:

                Having received last week the Church Assessment, the members are able to more fully work on the tasks assigned them, including preparing the job description and membership survey.  Members of the committee are also working on church and community profiles to present to candidates for senior pastor.  The committee has also set February 1, 2025 as the date to announce that the position is open and invite applications.  Members may have noticed a person taking pictures during the 12/8/24 service.  Simona Kennedy is working on behalf of the committee.  The committee plans to meet again on January 12, 2025.
