May 2, 2025 - PNC Update # 8

May 2, 2025

Dear Christ Pres Family,

Thank you for your continued prayers and encouragement as we move forward in our search for the next Lead Pastor whom God is preparing for our congregation.

Since our last update, the PNC has continued to meet regularly and continues to be engaged in the interview process. We’ve had rich and meaningful conversations with several candidates who we believe could be a strong fit for Christ Pres. Out of those we were seriously considering, we recently learned that two have accepted offers elsewhere.

Even so, we continue to believe that the Holy Spirit is asking us to wait on the Lord. We are trusting that God will provide clarity in His perfect timing. Through it all, we remain committed to a thorough and prayerful discernment process—one grounded in our faith in God’s leading and our deep love for this church family.

Please continue to pray for our committee—that we would have wisdom, unity, and patience as we listen for God’s voice together. We remain hopeful and confident that He will bring the right leader at the right time, and we will continue to keep you updated as the process unfolds.

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