How we got here:
Sandy Tice retired in June of 2023, after 17 years of faithful service to this congregation.
We listened anew to what God is calling us to be and completed a Mission Action Plan as part of the process of Mission Assessment.
An elected Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) which used that plan to complete our Ministry Discernment Profile (who we are), which was then approved by Session, and submitted to the Healthy Pastors and Congregation Commission of the Presbytery.
The PNC selected Pastor Brian Symonds as a candidate for Pastor/Head of Staff after reviewing information, interviews, witnessing potential candidates deliver sermons. On Sunday 10/12/2025, Brian was presented to the congregation who voted to accept the nomination and approve the call. Pastor Brian began as Pastor/Head of Staff on November 1, 2025.

We are immensely thankful for the pastoral support and guidance of Wendy Lamb and Steve Smith since Sandy Tice announced her retirement.
