Weekly Search Update 9/24/24:
Greetings once again from the Senior Pastor Search Committee!
If you were in church on Sunday, you may have heard committee member Dan Miklosz share during Joys & Concerns that, after many conversations with prospective candidates and individuals well-connected to the progressive clergy community, as well as two committee meetings, the Search Committee is pleased to announce that they have begun initial interviews this week.
While we want to reiterate that we are in the early days of the search, we have been pleased with the quality of candidates thus far and feel these initial interviews are warranted given the candidates’ diverse backgrounds, experiences, faith journeys, UCC Profiles, and our initial conversations with each of them.
We are also excited to see the response to our formal Church Profile, which has now been posted with the UCC and various conferences across the country (click below to view it on our website). As the position continues to gain visibility, we expect to receive several more applications. This is a clear testament to First Congo’s strong reputation, not only locally but also on a national level.
As always, feel free to email our search co-chairs, Brian Clarke or Sonja Martinez.
