February 11, 2025 - PNC Update #6

February 11, 2025

Dear Christ Pres Family,

We are grateful for your continued prayers and support as we faithfully move forward in our search for the next pastor God has prepared for our church.

Over the past month, we have received and reviewed one new candidate application.  Given the number of highly qualified candidates in our current pool, we made the decision on January 25 to temporarily pause the review of any new applications.  This will allow us the necessary time to complete a thorough review of the candidates already in process.  If needed, we will reopen the application review process in April.

Here is a brief update on where we are in the process:

  • 1 candidate is currently undergoing reference checks.

  • 4 candidates are proceeding to in-depth interviews with the full PNC.

  • 3 candidates are on hold and will be reconsidered after we complete interviews with the first four.  

  • 6 candidates have been determined not to be the right fit for our congregation at this time.

We deeply appreciate your continued prayers for wisdom, discernment, and unity as we seek God’s guidance in this process. We will continue to keep you updated as we move forward.  

Pastor Nominating Committee Members:  Kelly Hargreaves, Danny Peck, Jeremy McEntire, Lillian Macpherson, Ian Savino, Hope Braxton, Bob Andrews, David Wood

Chair: Kathy Wibberly
