What's Happening at messiah

Congregation Meeting
To Call a Senior Pastor

On Reformation Sunday, October 29th, we held a congregation meeting to call a senior pastor. The vote was unanimous but until the pastor informs their current congregation, we cannot release the name. We're very excited for them to start on December 17th!
