Personnel Committee Update

The Session met last Wednesday and discussed our immediate staffing needs since M.E. Steelman is transitioning out of her position as Director of Church Life and Connection in order to have more time with her family.

The Personnel Committee heard from the Christian Education Committee about the biggest needs and desired timeline for additional staff help, particularly with our children and youth programming.

Session approved a proposal and process to search for an Interim Associate Pastor for Christian Education or Director of Christian Education. This would be a two-year position with the possibility of applying for a permanent position if the church discerns this is the kind of position we need long-term. This two-year position will give us immediate stability for Christian Education programs as well as time to discern long-term staffing model needs.

The Personnel Committee will work with the Christian Education committee to interview candidates. We will identify and interview candidates over the next month.
