The meeting of the search team began at 7:00 pm at the church.
Search Team attendees: Von Oliver, Laura Bratcher, Allison Steineker, Rob Saxton, and Paul Stephens.
Others in attendance: Jack Blake, Clarence Durham, Mike Ernst
The team met with the Elders to review the entire four (4) month search process. After that review, the team spent considerable time reviewing with the Elders the backgrounds of three (3) candidates that were most impressive to the team. Finally, the team shared with the Elders the two (2) candidates that are seen as finalists.
Next steps: The Elders are to meet with one of the finalists within the next ten days to two weeks (they have already met with the other finalist). After that meeting, the Elders will reconvene with the search team.
The meeting ended at 9:25 pm.
