From Cathy Gould,

Church Deacon 

 

·  To offer pastoral care

·  To carry out administrative work, including the supervision of our church staff

·  To support the various programs and committees of the congregation

In addition - and as the job title implies - an Interim Pastor leads a congregation during the transition time after the installed pastor has departed.  This temporary person fills the leadership gap.  He also helps the congregation prepare for the process of welcoming a newly-installed pastor. Moreover, Interim Pastors understand and appreciate the emotional dynamics of a congregation in transition, from grief, loss, and anger, to relief and hope.  Finally, the Interim pastor should facilitate excitement for the new Pastor.  Please remember: an Interim Pastor cannot become the called pastor.

With the arrival of Pastor Paul on September 1, the Transition Team will launch its search for a permanent pastor, someone who is a good match for Christ the King, and vice versa.  Pastor Paul will work very closely with the Transition Team on this effort. So in the next couple of months, a lot will be happening!  Watch the bulletin board in the foyer for updates on our progress.  Without a doubt, this is an exciting time for our church!
