A New Year Brings Exciting Things
As our church prepares to welcome our new Senior Pastor, Rev. Josh Roberts, along with two other new staff members, we are making plans to set the stage for successful ministry together. The United Methodist Church On-Boarding process provides a healthy, intentional transition in pastoral leadership, creating space for thoughtful conversation, prayerful reflection, and shared vision as we look toward the future.
On January 13th, our staff will spend most of the day together, guided by Rev. Mike Selleck, a certified On-Boarding facilitator within the United Methodist Church. That evening, both our outgoing (2025) and incoming (2026) Church Council and Committee Members will gather for an On-Boarding dinner from 5:30–9:00 pm. This time together will include a structured discussion around the hopes, concerns, and priorities of our congregation. Rev. Roberts will not be present during the initial conversation, allowing for honest and anonymous feedback. He will join the group later in the evening for dialogue, questions, and shared understanding.
On Saturday, January 24th, from 9-11am, our 2026 Church Council & Committee Members will have a time of Retreat, a wonderful way to finish the first month of a new year. Please be in prayer for all of our staff, church council, and committee members as we share one goal - to Make Disciples of Jesus Christ, while Cultivating Community by Uniting in Purpose & Serving in Love.
