Pastoral Transition Report

Upon Curtis's retirement announcement, the FPCH Session voted to move forward with a new leadership structure for our church. We began the long, prayerful process of calling a new Associate Pastor to Highlands. To date, a transition team has conducted interviews with nearly 80 church members, affiliates, and friends. We have completed a Mission Study to look closely at who we are and where we hope to go as we move into the future. An Associate Pastor Nominating Committee (APNC) was elected by the congregation on October 2, 2022. At the end of 2022, the APNC completed our Ministry Information Form (MIF), which is the "job description" that will be shared around the denomination as we search for an a new Associate Pastor. The committee will begin to receive Pastor Information Forms (PIFs), or "applications" as the new year begins. The team will be busy reading these PIFs and determining which applicants we will consider for further steps in the interview process. As always, APNC covets your prayers!
