Dear Friends,

We have been navigating quite a number of changes here at Second Pres over the course of this calendar year. When things change, it is important that we keep you updated on who is doing what. When you have a ministry question or need, it is helpful that you know to whom you should go.

With Dr. Don Crittenden's retirement, many staff responsibilities have shifted. We have been working to make the appropriate adjustments in staff responsibilities to ensure that the ministry of Second Pres continues strongly into the future. With the hiring of Ann Lamkey as our Children's Ministry and Childcare Director, we are now able to fully make the shifts we have planned. With that in mind, I want to let you know who is working in each ministry area.

Dave Bianchin | Interim Pastor: Head of Staff, Session Moderator, Personnel, Finance, LDN, Foundation and Mission Study Team

Andrea Haughton Kladder | Associate Pastor: Adult Christian Education, Hospitality, Evangelism, Membership and Merge

Dean Kladder | Associate Pastor: Local Missions, Global Missions, Contemporary Worship and Pastoral Care

Josh Erickson | Associate Pastor: Youth (jr. high and high school), Family and Men's Ministries

Ann Lamkey | Children and Family Ministries

Mike McGaughan | Pastoral Care

Many of us are working in entirely new areas than before. While I am confident that each will do excellent work, there will be some time needed for adjustments. So, please pray for us as we move into new territory. We appreciate your partnership in the Gospel, and in the particular work God has called us all to here at Second Pres.

Alleluia!
