4HG - June 14, 2024
Hey Ya’ll!
This week is a Special week for a few reasons! This Friday we will have some of the people who went to Mexico last year, share their Testimony! I’m really excited for that, but there is something else…. We are also going to celebrate our Graduates! To do so, we will have a Formal Attire dresscode (come dressed nicely) and we will celebrate and acknowledge how nice it has been to have had them in our midst. Hope you can all make it this Friday for this special Event!
After 930pm, everyone except the Grads will go home as normal, and the grads will stay for a special After-hours event for them.

Update from Board of Church Governance and Lead Pastor Search Team
May 16, 2024
Search Team Update
The Search Team has conducted an initial review of the congregational survey results and been encouraged by what they have seen. There is a lot of information here and it is being compiled into a format that can be shared with the Board and Staff for further review. A summary of the results will then be shared with the congregation.
The Ministry Leaders Survey has been sent to selected leaders across all ministry areas, to be completed within the next week or two.
The Search Team has completed their exit interview with Pastor Terry and completed nearly all of the staff interviews.
The combined results of all these surveys and interviews will require some time to examine in detail, as we seek to gain the most complete understanding of our current situation and where we think God is leading us as a congregation.
Thank you for your continued prayers and encouragement.

Update from Board of Church Governance and Lead Pastor Search Team
May 9, 2024
Transitional Pastor
The combined results of the vote on the motion to call Bruce Hollins as our Transitional Pastor (both online and paper ballot votes) were 125 in favour and none opposed. Pastor Bruce is expected to join us on June 1.
Search Team Update
The results of the congregational survey are still being reviewed by the Search Team. The overall feedback was very positive and detailed results will soon be shared with the Board and Staff for further review. A summary of the results will then be shared with the congregation.
The Ministry Leaders Survey is being sent to selected leaders across all ministry areas. This will provide more focused feedback on the various ministries of our church, as well as a ministry leaders’ perspective on the overall spiritual health of our congregation.
Staff interviews are being conducted to ensure that their perspectives are fully considered as we enter this time of transition. The Search Team will also conduct a detailed exit interview with Pastor Terry.
The combined results of all these surveys and interviews will give us a more complete picture of our current situation and a clearer indication of where we think God is leading us as a congregation. It will therefore help us discern the type of Lead Pastor we need, the man who we believe that God is preparing for us. Thank you all for your participation and your prayers.
