PNC February 2, 2025 UPDATE
Pastoral Nominating Committee Update
February 2, 2025
The search for our next pastor has been a long process, and we’re still very actively searching for the person God is calling as our next pastor. We have had a number of candidates, some of whom we’ve been in final stages with, but God has made clear that they are not the right fit at this time.
Out of respect for candidates, their families, and any churches they may currently be serving in, we are intentionally confidential about what we share publicly. A gentle reminder and caution: if you are hearing specifics from a source other than an announcement during Sunday service or in writing from the PNC, it may be a rumor or a premature assumption. You are always welcome to speak with a member of the PNC or email pnc@sierravistachurch.org for clarification.
As recommended by ECO, we will not announce specifics until we have a candidate to whom we’ve extended a call and they have accepted. At that time, we will share more about that person and schedule a Candidate Sunday with several weeks advance notice, where Covenant Partners will vote to affirm the call.
We trust that the Holy Spirit is guiding this process and ask that you continue to pray with us during and after Sunday services and on your own throughout the week. As a reminder, the posting is public and we welcome you sending it to any pastors or people who may know a pastor that God could be calling to serve at Sierra Vista. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve Sierra Vista in this way and excited about who God is preparing to come on as our next pastor – even if the specifics are not yet clear to us.
