Pastoral Transition Update

The Interim Pastor Search Team is excited to announce that session has approved Rev. Tina Salvaneschi to be our Interim Pastor with her first day in the office Monday, August 5, 2024. Tina Salvaneschi has over twenty-five years experience in both business and ministry. She is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, holds a real estate license, and serves her community as a pastor and local missionary. She holds a Masters in Christian Studies and a Masters of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary.

Next Steps – Along with the leadership of Rev. Tina Salavneschi, our church will begin the process of searching for and selecting a new Pastor/Head of Staff.  This process can take between 1 – 2 years.  We will form a Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) and begin a Congregational Mission Study (CMS).  The CMS will provide a report that describes our history, current status, goals and needs of the church.  It will identify who we are, where we have been and where we want to go in the future.  This report will be provided to the PNC team and they will use this information to guide their work in selecting a candidate for the position.  As we move through this process, please pray for God’s direction and discernment.  We will post updates at each step of the way.
