Dear ELPC Members, Friends and Staff,
Your Pastoral Nominating Committee is very grateful and excited to have entered another phase of our work. After submitting our Ministry Discernment Profile (MDP) to the PC(USA) late last year, we began receiving referrals from the PC(USA)’s system of individuals who matched our MDP, as well as independent inquiries. Since then, we have been engaged in screening those candidates and inviting some to formally apply. And last month, we began interviewing candidates on Zoom.
This process of screening and interviewing invited applicants will continue as we receive more matches from the PC(USA) and hear from pastors who have become aware of our opening via our social media and online job posting efforts.
We ask you, yet again, to continue to keep us and our efforts in your prayers. We have every confidence that God will lead us to the right individual. We would also like to ask you to help us spread the word about our pastoral opening to your friends and family. Thank you all for walking with us and supporting our work.
—Doug Booth
