Ministry Site
Profile
Step 1 of the call process is now complete. On June 28, the
call committee met with the Congregation Council, Pastor Gwenn
Trout, dean of the West Shore Conference and Pastor Cliff
Eshbach, Assistant to Bishop Hoover, to review and approve the
Ministry Site Profile. The Ministry Site Profile is the
culmination of a self study process that began in January and
included input from the congregation, the Congregation Council
and staff. The document provides a glimpse of Trinity to
prospective candidates for call as our Senior Pastor. The synod
office will now be reviewing the list of potential candidates
and will prayerfully determine which candidate should be
presented to the call committee first for consideration. The
call process is in God’s hands and we have no idea how long it
will be until we are able to call a new Senior Pastor. In the
meantime, we continue to be very blessed with Pastor Ludwig’s
service as our Interim Senior Pastor. Copies of the
Ministry Site Profile are posted on the bulletin boards in
the Gathering Space and the kitchen hallway and may be read any
time that the building is open. The document has been approved
by the Congregation Council and the synod and is selectively
made available to potential candidates by the synod. The
document is complete except for two pages that contain the
contact information for our references, since the references
were told that their contact information would only be made
available to selected candidates as determined by the synod. The
document provides a glimpse of Trinity to prospective candidates
for call as our Senior Pastor. If you have any questions about
the Ministry Site Profile, please contact Jeff Weaver at
697-3259, or email to
call-committee@trinitycamphill.org or talk to any member
of the call committee (Jeff Weaver, chair, Meredith Askey, Bill
Foos, Maria Hegedus, Brenda Kaczmarek, Ron Katzman, Betsy Knarr,
Charlotte Lazarchik, and Tom Reddinger).
Interview
preparation
The call committee has begun compiling questions for use in
interviews of potential candidates. During July and
August, 2010, the call committee will continue to refine
interview questions and expects to conduct trial interviews with
Pastors Ludwig and Edmiston in preparation for our first
interview with a candidate when a name is received from Bishop
Hoover's office.
Sunday Church School
Class on the call process
On March 21 and March 28, Pastor Dave Fisher and Pastor
Cliff Eshbach, assistants to Bishop Hoover, talked about the
call process during the Sunday Church School hour. The
sessions were video taped and are available on YouTube at the
following links. Because of the length of the sessions,
each session had to be separated into multiple segments on
YouTube.
