Your Prayers Matter in this Process

Finding our next pastor isn’t about filling a position—it’s about discerning God’s call. We’re committed to seeking His guidance at every turn, and that’s where you come in. Please pray with us. Pray for clarity for our search team and elders. Pray for the candidates we meet and their families as they consider this call. Pray over every conversation, every decision, and every detail that will unfold in the coming months.
