Pastor Eileen reiterated Kelsey is not disliking of her position but after completing CPS training felt called to continue and pursue full time employment with Evergreen hospital.

* Discussed current position and noting that staff has been the ones in the past to determine what the job description would look like - now it will be the task of this leadership team to develop the job description. Not someone to do/organize all ministries but look at the blank slate to see what is needed for this community. * Small churches are struggling all over the US - we need to get people to volunteer and eliminate the 28hours to be spent elsewhere. * Do things as volunteer groups to help with routine tasks. * Volunteers for Sunday's are tough to get worship related tasks are tough to get covered. Getting worship services organized and innovative changes would struggle. *Janet will volunteer to work with pre-school and youth. Be a liaison w/preschool. * HS youth on Wednesday - Kelsey's departure will be big void here. This is a relational strength. *Small groups *Need relational hub - team needs to decide what is the priority. *More visible community - coffee hour or potluck on front lawn. *Service on front lawn *VBS huge connection to community! Needs a lot of volunteers *Dog drinking station in front of church w/treats (meeting people where they are) *Missions that can be sustainable *Sunday school program - IMPORTANT For new job description: - everyone list 5 things they want the position to cover - compare to previous description - create a progressive job description - look at the horizon that our community has established for us - build description with general tasks and then build the job around talents of hired person. Contemporary Christians BELONG* BEHAVE * BELIEVE Can faith be developed other than Sundays? * Families are gone on weekends * Christ didn't have set engagements * Can faith come outside of church? * Not just deliver but receive also * Be open and exclusivity of community messages * IN/OUT/UP
