Mission and vision drive our work. We will pay attention to the needs and desires of both congregation members and people in our community who aren’t in our congregation.

We will base our recommendations on a diligent and careful examination of facts.

We will solicit advice, information, and feedback from the pastors and staff members.

We will communicate regularly with the council and the congregation.

We will maintain strict confidentiality in regard to personnel-related discussions. To maintain this confidentiality our meetings will not be able to be regularly open to visitors.

We will bring recommendations to the council as quickly as possible consistent with careful deliberation. We will try to avoid procrastination.

We will regularly pray for God’s guidance and help as we try to carry out God’s work
