Pastoral Search Underway

Senior Minister Dr. John Rodgers has informed the Church Council and the Congregation of his desire to retire in the coming months. The Congregation chose a relatively new model of pastoral transition, whereby the incumbent remains in his position until the successor is found, and then stays on in an advisory capacity for a period of weeks or months once the new pastor takes over. The Pastoral Search Committee of our church was appointed the Church Council and is made up of eleven voting members plus the Council President and Immediate Past President, who are ex-officio members of the committee. Nominations were taken from Church Membership and the Council chose the 11 from those nominations.
Candidates for Senior Pastor must submit their credentials and other information in the form of a Ministerial Profile on file at the UCC Profile Office in Cleveland, and then by requesting the Illinois Conference Profile Coordinator to send their profile to our Search Committee.
