The Call

June 14, 2026 - Please pick up the letter President Threlfall has written giving names and a short biography of the nominees for pastor in the narthex.  More detailed notes on each of the pastors is available to read in the classroom for the next two weeks.

February 15, 2026 - The Call Committee held its first meeting with discussion on the way forward

• Chairman Threlfall will contact the Circuit Visitor and Southeast District and arrange a meeting.  Purpose of this meeting will be to understand the Call process, what we are expected to provide, and what they will provide the congregation.  

• This phase is where the Call Committee does its core work. This includes preparing the Congregational Profile, receiving the Call List from the District President, interviewing candidates, communicating with the congregation, and prayerfully discerning which candidates to present at the Call Service. This phase is deliberate, prayerful, and shaped by listening—to God’s Word, to one another, and to the needs of the congregation. 

• Any congregational member can access the District Call site to see what congregations are Calling, which Ministers have accepted, and which Ministers have declined.  We are now on this webpage as a "Calling Congregation".

After serving in the Pastoral Ministry for nearly 43 years, Pastor Olson has announced his retirement for the fall of 2026.

This page will provide you with information regarding the Call for a new Pastor to lead our faithful flock.  According to our By-Laws Article I, the first thing the congregation must do is establish a Call committee.  This committee is comprised of the Chairman (which is the President of the Congregation), the complete Board of Elders, and two members at large selected from the congregation appointed by the President.  

The Call Committee was selected at the annual voter's meeting on Sunday, February 8, 2026.  The members are:

• Congregational Chairman - Grant Threlfall

• Head Elder Michael Leveskas

• Elder Anthony Link

• Elder Micah Wilmoth

• Elder Emeritus Jay Hill

• Member at Large Luzia Trexler
