Vacancy Committee
The vacancy committee met for the first time on Tuesday 8th October. This puts us at the 'start line' of the process which, with the Spirit's leading, will bring the congregation to settle on who God would have to be your senior pastor. Be assured the committee will do their level best to represent your wishes in these  discussions. Please continue to pray as we move forward and start inviting ministers to preach.
