ACTIONS/UPDATES

February 20, 2025 - "Policy for a Covenant of Closure for Former Ministers and their Calling Communities" executed by the Council President, Vice President and Pastor Cindy Brommer

The first document which has been executed by the Council President, Vice President and Pastor Brommer is the "Policy for a Covenant of Closure for Former Ministers and their Calling Communities". This covenant helps to clarify the new relationship between the former minister, congregation, and the people they formerly served. It details what the members of the Congregation "will or will not do, and what the former Pastor "will or will not do". The covenant allows members to fully accept the authority and guidance of succeeding minister, both interim and called, even as they cherish the memory and leadership of the former minister.

As stated, this document is available, and we encourage members to read it. You can read a copy of the Policy by clicking the link below:
