Pastoral Search

A Pastoral Nominating Committee (PNC) was elected by the congregation on January 26, 2020, and has been tasked with searching for our next installed Senior Minister. The committee is comprised of members of different generations, as well as the various ministries at First Presbyterian Church.

We ask for your continued prayers during the pastoral search

For the Pastor Nominating Committee

Pray that we will have the mind of Christ and be unified (Psalm 133.)
Pray for wisdom to choose the right person.
Pray for discipline in our team and our church leadership.

For Our Next Senior Minister

Pray that God will give him or her a love for First Presbyterian Church and strength to leave their current position.
Pray that God would prepare our future Senior Minister to shepherd the flock lovingly and faithfully.
Pray for the next Senior Minister's family, if he or she has one, that they would also be convinced of the Lord’s leading for this move.

For Members of First Presbyterian Church

Regularly encourage the members of the PNC.
Pray for the PNC that God will strengthen, equip, and lead them in this all-important task.
