RESURGENCE OF ACTIVITY
Search committees are again getting into the swing of searching for a pastor. After the lazy days of summer, pastoral search committees are again becoming very active in their search to fill positions in their churches. The Division for Ministry's search office can be reached at: 1-800-262-1620 where Rev. Phil Jackson and his assistant, Karen Frazzell, are ready to help make the process easier and quicker if possible. They can also be reached by e-mail: pjackson@naccc.org and kfrazzell@naccc.org. If you are a minister seeking a new call or a search committee member, please call with any questions or requests for help.
