Succession
In March of 2025, Pastor Kevin announced to the congregation that he will be stepping back from his role as Lead Pastor at the end of 2025. After 16 years of leading our church, Kevin is looking forward to spending more time with family and engaging in other areas of ministry. Fortunately for us, Kevin plans to stay on our staff part-time to continue serving on the Teaching Team, supporting outreach efforts, and being a resource to the next Lead Pastor.

Search Team
In preparation for this transition, Pastor Kevin graciously notified the Leadership Board several years in advance so that they could begin praying and discerning next steps together. Over the last several years, the Leadership Board has been working on these plans in consultation with our church consultant, Nancy Moore. They have developed a timeline that will allow the congregation to vote on our next Lead Pastor as early as June of this year.
In accordance with our church’s governing documents, a Search Team has been formed and will begin meeting in April 2025. Their first task will be to evaluate, pray, and discern about the possibility of Luke Brodeur, our Executive Pastor, to take on the role of Lead Pastor starting in 2026. You can view the details of the process in the timeline below.
