Pastor Nominating Committee Update
Update 10
The Pastor Nominating Committee is excited to share that we have a new Senior Pastor / Head of Staff!
Congregational Meeting Outcome
Following a compelling majority vote on February 16 at our Congregational Meeting, we approved the call for Dr. Matt Reeves (above) to serve as WPC's Senior Pastor. Pastor Matt has accepted and will officially start on May 1. At the end of the meeting, Pastor Wayne made a motion that the PNC be dissolved, and that motion was approved by the congregation.
Pastor Matt's family expressed gratitude for the welcome we extended over the weekend. He, his wife, Heather, and their sons, Evan and Gareth, are looking forward to joining our church family soon! Look for more information as we get closer to his start date.

What’s Next
- By the end of February – The Presbytery will complete his background check, finalize Matt’s acceptance into our Presbytery (Scioto Valley), and approve the call.
- By the end of March – We'll form a small (2-4 member) transition team to support Matt and his family for the next 12-18 months. This has been approved by Session.
- By the end of April – We'll be getting everything prepared for Matt's onboarding and the arrival of the Reeves family.
- By the end of May – We'll schedule the "Service of Installation," a special event where Matt will be officially installed in his role.
Information will continue to be posted to the Pastor Nominating Committee portion of our church website. May God bless each of you, the Reeves family, and our church!
