The Call Process

We are looking for a new permanent pastor.

To prepare for a new pastor we are discerning who we are, & what God is calling us to be.

When we have discerned these things, we will call a new pastor to join us in our mission.

Elect Call Committee

On April 6th, we elected 6 members of our call committee. They begin meeting the third week of April.

Discern

The call committee will lead the congregation in discernment of who we are, who God is calling us to be, and what we’re looking for in our next pastor.

03

04

Interviews

The call committee will work with the Bishop’s office to find and interview pastoral candidates.

03

Write

The call committee will write our Ministry Site Profile for the interview process.

The call committee has learned about the history of our congregation; trends, patterns, challenges, and blessings over the past 75 years.


The call committee has listened to the people who have a stake in this community through surveys, a history day, voting activities, one-on-one conversations, listening sessions, and interviews.


The call committee has gone on retreat with the leadership of this congregation to discern the vision and mission of the church.


The call committee has surveyed and interviewed the greater community of Rush City about this congregation.

Now, the call committee is sitting with the Ministry Site Profile (MSP) to turn all of this information into a profile that tells the synod staff and prospective pastors:

  • Who we are
  • Who God is calling us to be
  • What we’re looking for in a pastor partner


On March 22 the call committee will sit with the council to review the MSP and complete the compensation portion of the profile.


On March 29 the call committee will publish the MSP for the congregation to read.


On April 12 the call committee will hold a Town Hall meeting to present the MSP and receive feedback from the congregation.
