Dear Congregation,
It is our joy to share the latest news in the pastoral search process. As was previously communicated, Scott Lokers met with the elders, deacons, and church staff regarding pastoral qualities needed to lead Rockford Reformed Church. In addition, he facilitated the survey sent to you asking these same questions. Consistory met with Scott on Tuesday evening to evaluate all responses, and had a time for prayer and conversation with Pastor Tim. We are thrilled to tell you that after this discussion, consistory unanimously agreed to call Pastor Tim Meendering to Rockford Reformed Church, subject to a congregational vote of affirmation. This vote will take place at our annual congregational update meeting on December 2. If you have any questions, please reach out to your elder/deacon team, Pastor Tim, or any member of consistory. We ask for your ongoing prayers for Pastor Tim and Ruth, along with Rockford Reformed Church, as all of us together continue through this transition work. God is so good!
In Christ,
Your RRC Consistory
