Dear Christ Church,

On behalf of the Board of Trustees and the Search Committee, thank you for your prayers and participation in developing the Lead Pastor Profile. We are filled with gratitude and encouraged by God's continued faithfulness on this journey. 

You will find the final document here. In addition, the profile will be posted on Monday, April 22, on the website of our search firm, the Slingshot Group. Throughout the profile development process, we have been reminded of the words in Acts 4:32, “All of the believers were one in heart and mind.” Creating the Lead Pastor profile marks a significant milestone in our search process. Getting as many voices and perspectives as possible to formalize the profile has been critically important. Great attention has been given to the multiple sources of input we received from the congregation, focus groups, lay leaders and staff. We were enriched and encouraged by your feedback and your strong words of affirmation. Thank you for your interest and contributions!

We confidently believe the profile describes and represents our Church and who we seek for Dan's successor. 

We are heading into a quiet period of the search process. Over the next six weeks Slingshot Group will launch the search and begin vetting candidates. We invite you to join us as we prayerfully wait for them to identify the resumes to review and the candidates to interview. 

It is evident that God has gone before us through every step of this process. We ask that you continue to pray for our Church, our next Lead Pastor, their family, and Dan and Amy. It is a privilege to watch God move and work together during this exciting season at Christ Church.
