Ministerial Search Committee

At the July 9 Worship Service, Tom Cullison, Miriam Green, Penny Hooper, Amy Jones, and Sarah Grenier accepted the charge to serve on the Ministerial Search Committee for UCF’s next full-time contract minister. The committee members’ response to the congregation was “We hear your charge and set it upon our hearts. We covenant to listen well, bear in mind the congregation’s vision and mission, and
always remember that we are seeking to fulfill the needs of the larger congregation. Thank you for your trust.”
