Pastor Nominating Committee Update

The Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) is pleased to announce that we have unanimously selected a candidate for Senior Pastor/Head of Staff. The Session has approved a Congregational Meeting for this Sunday, February 16, right after the 10am worship service to vote on the candidate.

To hear the PNC’s discernment process, feedback about the candidate, and next steps, watch the Moment for Mission, shared February 2. To hear about our candidate's impact through leadership and mentoring, watch the video shared last week from one of the candidate's references.

Hear firsthand why our candidate feels God leading him to our church. Our candidate addresses the congregation and shares his calling in the video below.

Meet and learn more about our candidate’s family. Watch as they share fun facts and responses to questions. 

All members are invited to stop by for an informal meet and greet this Saturday in Fellowship Hall to visit with the candidate. Please wear your nametag. (Adhesive nametags will also be provided).

The candidate will deliver the sermon at the 8am and 10am worship services. A Congregational Meeting will take place in the Sanctuary, right after the 10am service, where we will conduct an in-person ballot vote. Remote voting (e.g., via Zoom) cannot be accommodated due to Presbytery guidelines and the absence of livestreaming for worship services.

As you learn more about our candidate, we ask that you be discreet and allow our candidate to share their decision and calling with their church at the appropriate time.

Please mark your calendars, and plan to attend this weekend's events. Information will continue to be posted to the Pastor Nominating Committee portion of our church website.

May God bless each of you, our candidate, and our church!

With gratitude and joy,

WPC’s Pastor Nominating Committee: Noel Abrokwa, Josh Bodnar, Duane Cable, Bill Gilbert, Elizabeth Jewell Becker, Tracy MacDowell, Ryan Mehl
