Meeting recap from 12/07/2021
After interviewing 3 candidates the call committee decided 1 may be a fit for Faith. However, when offered a 2nd interview, that pastor removed himself from our call process for personal reasons. We have reached out to the synod and will wait for more candidates to come forward.
We as a call committee understand how important it is to find the very best fit for the future of Faith and very strongly want to wait until that right fit is found. Though this process is long, we must remember God has a plan in motion for the congregation at Faith Lutheran, and in His time, that person will be ready and excited to join us here at Faith.
Meeting recap from 11/14/2021
The call committee met in person on Sunday 11/14. We interviewed pastor candidates both in person and virtually. We then met after interviews to discuss the candidates. We then met as a committee via zoom on Wednesday 11/17 to further review the candidates. We are in the process of calling references, and plan to meet via zoom again on Sunday 11/28 to discuss results of references and discern where we are in the process. We hope to schedule 2nd interviews (via zoom and in person) after our next meeting.
