Q: How can I pray for this process?
A: Here are four ways to pray:
- Pray for the search committee. Pray for protection of mind and from spiritual attacks. Pray that they would be listening for the Holy Spirit's guidance.
- Pray for our congregation, that we would be eager and ready to receive our next Lead Pastor.
- Pray for our next Lead Pastor. That the Lord would be preparing his heart, mind and spirit to come and lead us in our next chapter.
- Pray for our next Lead Pastor's family. That their hearts would be filled with joy and excitement for this next stage of their lives.
Join with others on Sunday mornings at 8:00 am in M201 to pray together.

Q: How do I recommend someone I would like to be considered as our next Lead Pastor?
A: We welcome your suggestions and nominations! All names, along with their email and phone contact if available, should be directed to our consultants at NL Moore & Associates. If you have a pastor you would like to recommend, you can email that name to Melissa Goodman, the Search Associate working alongside our Lead Consultant Nancy Moore. If you have already submitted a name to the Elders, no worries. All the names already collected will be forwarded along to the consultants too.

The Elders had the joy and privilege of announcing the pastoral search team, a subcommittee of the elders whose job is to search for Trinity’s next lead pastor, with the ultimate goal of presenting a candidate to the elders for their recommendation to the congregation. To arrive at this team, a list of potential committee members was compiled from recommendations by congregants as well as those who stated they were interested in serving. While prayerfully considering the members who would be best to serve on the committee, there were several individual characteristics considered by the elder board:
- Mature and balanced – not prone to emotional responses
- Not driven by personal agenda
- Able to communicate clearly and effectively
- Capable of expressing opinions without being argumentative
- Willing to collaborate, listen and respectfully consider the input of others
The board also aimed to achieve diversity that appropriately reflects our community in characteristics like gender, tenure, socio-economics, education and racial representation. Finally, the board felt it was important that everyone on the committee was a member of Trinity.
The elders feel the Lord has spoken clearly as to whom should be on the committee. Please join in prayer for Martha Daggett, Erik Dahnke, Pavel Ilie, Nicolette Kay, Jason Pugh, David Yleah, and Jay Zercher. Each of them has stated that they are humbled to serve Trinity Church in this capacity and know the importance of such a task.
