This transition plan is designed to provide continuity, shared leadership, and long-term health for our church. We believe healthy pastoral ministry includes mentoring future leaders, sharing responsibility, and building sustainable rhythms for both the church and its pastors. The Board of Elders is proposing a model in which Pastor Jim will continue serving as Senior Pastor while gradually reducing portions of his workload, particularly in leadership oversight and preaching responsibilities. This approach allows for continuity in vision, teaching, and congregational life while creating space for shared leadership and pastoral development.
