Pastors

We are delighted to welcome you to our shared life,  and we want to serve as a network of intentional support and deep-rooted  connection for you!

May your leadership reflect the patterns and practices of the gospel.

G-2.0501 from the Constitution of the PC(USA)  states:

“Ministers of the Word and Sacrament shall in all things be committed to teaching the faith in word and deed and equipping the saints for the work of ministry.”
(Ephesians 4:12).

When serving  as preachers and teachers of the Word,

you shall preach and teach the faith of the church,

so that the people are shaped by the pattern of the gospel

and strengthened for witness and service.

When serving at font and table,

you shall interpret and “show forth” the mysteries of grace in word and action,

lifting the people’s vision toward the hope of God’s new creation.
