  3. 6.8 DB meeting excerpts:
  • The pastoral staff, deacons, and department chairs discussed the possible 2025 church organizational structure and personnel arrangement in the absence of a new senior pastor. They also reviewed the pastoral suggestions regarding how to enhance the P.G.M.B.C. of the church in 2025.
  • It was resolved that the church would pay for all the expenses incurred by the pastoral staff as they joined the new pastor’s orientation as required by the Mennonite Brethren Conference before their credentialing with our denomination. It is the strong desire of all four pastors who have just joined the orientation to finish their credentialing before the end of the year.
