May 10, 2026 - The Call Committee has tentatively scheduled a "Call Service" after church on May 31, 2026. We hope to have packets on each candidate for congregational review by May 17th and again on May 24th.
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
