Where Are We in our Transition Time?

---

Although the Covid crisis interrupted our interim / transition process, we continue to move ahead.  

We are in the process of collecting information about our Congregation, Community and Vision for the Mission Study paper:

• We have completed the celebration of our long and important history, making a large chart of the way we got to today.
• We have completed a survey of our congregation and compliled the results, and have accessed demographic data.  
• We have held two "Virtual Potlucks" to learn about about our community.
• We have carried out a Visioning Process and found 5 directions we feel God is leading us in for our future.
• We have JUST completed our Mission Study and arre awaiting its approval.  When its approved, it will be posted here.

Next steps:​​

• When the Committee on Ministry (COM) approves our Mission Study, we will elect a Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) to do the work of finding a candidate for us.
•  The PNC does its work, writing up the needed search documents (Mission Information Form - MIF), then undertaking a process of reading Pastor Informationn Forms (PIFs), choosing some to interview, and finally presenting us with a candidate.
• Meanwhile, there are other projects the congregation and I will continue!
• We vote on the presented candidate, and welcome them to Jamesville Community Church!
