TRANSITION

We are currently in a season of transition following the departure of our Lead Pastor, Greg Clark, in November 2025. The Board of Elders has invited Andy Wiebe to serve as Transitional Lead Pastor from April 2026 to June 2027, helping guide our church through a thoughtful and prayerful transition process.

Overview

This season is an opportunity to listen carefully to Jesus and discern His direction for our future. Throughout this process, there will be intentional opportunities for congregational engagement and feedback.

We believe this transition requires a deep commitment to prayer and listening to Jesus from all of us – elders, staff and congregation alike.
