The International Mission Board will be conducting reference checks during the month of June and making a final decision by mid-July. He plans to continue his service at Summit Woods until the beginning of the school year. His announcement was shared during part of the morning sermon.
The message is available online. Ryan has expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming support and love which has been showered upon his family since making the announcement. He has asked that you pray for his family in the coming days as they finish the appointment process.
Our newly elected elder board has been meeting since May 27. The elder board has laid out the initial process for pastor search and will prayerfully be following it. The elders have requested Rob Stouffer, Brett Harris and Kent Warner, who have served as interim elders, to come alongside them through the transition.
