Rev. Dr. Cindy Bacon Hammer, Moderator and Rev. Art Ritter, Vice Moderator
It is an exciting time for the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches! Our new website has launched, we have a new Executive Directorstarting June 1st, our virtual Annual Meeting & Conference will take place in June, and we bid a fond farewell and offer our heartfelt thanks to Rev. Dr. Michael Chittum.
Michael has served as the Executive Director of the NACCC since June of 2015. He has shared his gifts freely, preached and prayed in many of our churches, celebrated with us, and shared in our sorrows. Michael's attention to detail, easy-going demeanor, and clear speech has served the NACCC well. He has set and achieved many goals, helping us move forward as an Association while promoting the Congregational Way.
On May 13, we will offer an official 'goodbye' to Michael via Zoom. Both Michael and Vicky will be taking the call from the Oak Creek office, as they both deserve our thanks for their dedication, intelligence, hard work, and faithfulness. If you would like to join the call, but do not have the Zoom link, please contact Carrie Dahm.
Just launched! Check out the new and improved website of the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches!
Bob Smith, Congregational Foundation Board of Governors
Spring is a wonderful time of year. Trees begin to blossom, the grass begins to grow, and the days become longer. These changes we have always experienced, and we welcome them every year. Change is also coming to The Board of Governors. We say goodbye to our President Ashley Cleere, who is moving on to become the NACCC and Congregational Foundation’s new Executive Director.
We also want to welcome Sandra Leonard to the Congregational Foundation Board of Governors and look forward to the fresh ideas and perspectives she will bring. We thank all those who have served in the past and look forward to those who will serve in the future as together we seek to provide financial resources to our member churches and to the work of the NACCC.
