Congregational Meeting April 11, 2010
Future Ministerial Needs for St. John's
Upon completion
of a three year Interim process St. John’s hopes to welcome a
permanent minister July 1, 2011. In order for that to happen we need
to ask Northern Waters Presbytery to form a Joint Needs Assessment
Committee. The JNAC will be made up of congregational members and
two representatives from Presbytery. They will be responsible for
compiling a report that includes:
- Church /
Community / area information
-
Congregational priorities / skills profile
- Job
description / financial compensation
- Resources /
budget information
Members of
the JNAC may be either members or adherents of St. John's United
Church. Being on this committee will require a significant time
commitment. When the report is completed, accepted by the
congregation and approved by Presbytery, then we can ask Presbytery
to declare a vacancy for July 1, 2011.
A Joint Search Committee will then be set up to handle advertising
the position, receiving applications, interviewing candidates and
recommending a candidate to the congregation. JSC members should be
full members of the church.
Once the congregation has decided on a candidate, a call can be
issued.
There will be a congregational meeting on Sunday, April 11, 2010,
following the worship service to initiate the JNAC/JSC process.
