On Sunday, February 9th during the Growing Connections hour, Pastor Craig will be sharing a few key findings from his doctoral research about leadership as a local theologian that are guiding us into and through a time of discernment about what it means to be the church and what this might look like in the emerging context of western culture.

Your Session, at the September 2024 meeting reflected on their Session Retreat and voted to “enter into a time of discernment with the congregation regarding the mission of FPC in order to determine how the church should best be organized.” With that focus in mind, your Personnel Team has set a goal for Pastor Craig to “Prayerfully cultivate an atmosphere and environment for people to discern together, through action-reflection experiments, what God is calling this congregation to do and to become.”

Portions of his research are available here for you to read as we journey into this renewed vision of being followers of Jesus Christ.
