March 11, 2025 - PNC Update #7

March 11, 2025

Dear Christ Pres Family,

We want to take a moment to update you on the work of the Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) as we continue in our search for the pastor God is calling to serve our congregation.

Over the past month, we have been conducting full PNC in-depth Interviews with four candidates to discern together where God may be leading us. Each of the four candidates bring unique strengths and gifts. Following our discussions and a dedicated time of prayer, we sensed a clear message from the Lord—not to rush this decision, but to wait on Him.

In light of this, we have chosen to continue in conversation with all four candidates, seeking further clarity through follow-up questions and additional discernment. We are also moving forward with scheduling a full PNC interview with a fifth candidate and beginning the initial review process for two additional applicants that were recently received.

While we wait and seek God’s direction, we ask for your continued prayers:

  • That God would provide clarity and unity for our committee.

  • That each candidate would also hear God’s voice in their own discernment process.

  • That we would remain faithful and patient, trusting in God’s perfect timing.

We are grateful for your ongoing support and encouragement. We trust that God is at work in this process and will guide us in His time to the pastor He has prepared for our church. Please continue to pray with us as we listen for His leading.

If you have any questions or thoughts, we welcome your input. Thank you for walking this journey with us.


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

Chair: Kathy Wibberly
