The job description is under revision, but should be available from Pastor Del Keeney upon request.

At the January 12, 2019 District Board, a Guide for Congregational Withdrawal was approved. While we wish to be in conversation with congregations who feel estranged from our denomination, we recognize that reconciliation is not always possible. The Guide is a way forward for the District and the Congregation.
