LEADERSHIP RECOMMENDATION

In January, Tom announced his retirement plans for the beginning of next year. He, along with the Elders, recommended our Discipleship Pastor, Bryan Shippey, as the next Lead Pastor. Watch this video of Tom explaining some of the reasons behind this recommendation.

We hosted two opportunities for our church family to ask Bryan Shippey, our Leadership Recommentation, questions in what we are called Family Meetings. These were created to help you make an informed decision in January at the official vote for our Next Lead Pastor. Both opportunities were filmed and can be accessed with the link below.
