Search Committee
Anyone who would like to be considered for service on the committee must submit an application. You will find a link to the application form and instructions for filling it out at the bottom of this page. The deadline for submitting an application is MONDAY, DECEMBER 7th.
Applications will be kept confidential. They will be reviewed by the the Vestry and Wardens. Members will be selected by consensus of the Vestry to give the committee a balanced representation of the congregation and a diverse range of skills.
If you have any questions about the application process or the search process in general, please feel free to contact your Wardens Lynn at [email protected] or Doug at [email protected]. You can also address questions to the any member of the Vestry.
** Please be assured that whether you serve on the Search Committee or in some other way, your participation and input during the transition process are welcome and needed. We are actively interested in what you have to say, and we want to hear from you. There will be multiple opportunities where the Search Committee will be asking for your input both verbally and through writing. Our goal is to keep all lines of communication open. **
The first task of the Search Committee will be to undertake a Self Study and develop a Parish Profile. We will be asking for your thoughts and feedback, and hope to have the prayerful participation of the entire congregation. After the Parish Profile is completed and approved by the Vestry, we will begin receiving applications from candidates. Throughout the entire process, the Search Committee will keep you and the Vestry informed of our progress.
Anyone interested in serving on the Search Committee is encouraged to apply. If you are thinking about applying, here are some things to keep in mind:
