FCUCC-CUMC Merger Next Steps

The first meeting of the Exploration Committee took place on Sunday, February 23. Their next steps will be to review the policies and bylaws of both congregations and start to work towards drafting a unifying document.  The committee will be updating wider-church leaders about our progress (unified budget, joint leadership and ministries, etc.) The committee is also looking into what will need to happen to include the land and building into a future merger or federation. Their next meeting will be on March 16.

The members of that committee are: Lois Baker, Rosemary Neilsen representing Christ UMC and Hank Branom, Steve Gettel, Dick Kloppel, Mende Kloppel, and Nancy Zadick representing First Congregational UCC. Revs. Dawn and Lynne will also be participating in the work of the committee. Please keep these dedicated leaders in your prayers as they set about doing their work and look for updates in the future.
