At our Annual Congregational Meeting in December, we officially dismissed our Pastoral Nominating Committee. We thanked them for their service in finding and calling Pastor Jenn Frayer-Griggs to our congregation. Pastor Jenn is already bringing creativity and fresh ideas to our midst.

Our church has been through several transitions over the past couple of years, and we are so grateful for the lay leadership of our congregation, as well as the pastors and staff who have worked with us. A church culture is truly co-created by its members, their questions, their engagement, their ideas, their showing up. We have a remarkable volunteer rate of 68% -- 68 percent of our congregation (members and non) volunteer in some way. Our small church would not be thriving without our amazing congregation.

As we enter 2026, we are grateful and excited about this new season of our church’s life: new Covenant Partners, new elders and deacons, new pastor. We’re eating a lot of cake, and we’re excited about what we’re all creating together.
