Zach Lamberson has been recommended by the Pastoral Selection Team and Board as the candidate for our next Lead Pastor. The final step of our pastoral selection process will be a vote of the congregation to affirm Zach as the new Lead Pastor.
This vote of affirmation will be taken on Sunday, October 29, after each of the 9AM and 11AM services. Zach will be our speaker on the day of the vote.

4. What is the required majority?
