The Ministerial Search Committee is pleased to announce our work is complete, and we’re asking the First UU congregation to call Rev. Chris Jimmerson as our settled minister.
We’re grateful to congregants who shared your thoughts with us on a written survey, and to congregants who attended a variety of Search Party meetings and Focus Group meetings. We heard you and appreciated you sharing the qualities and functions you want in ministry. Next, the seven of us worked together to discern your feedback. We also studied Rev. Chris’ ministerial record, references and other information, and we interviewed him. Thus, we see Rev. Chris has much to offer this congregation to meet what you’ve said you want in ministry.
We see that Rev. Chris is not only a good match, he’s a great match. Next week, we’ll work with him to create a calendar of events for you to learn more about his expertise through one-on-one meetings. There will be a candidating week to provide additional opportunities for you to get to know Rev. Chris better both individually and in groups during the week before you have an opportunity to vote.
Please join us in celebrating this important milestone in the life of the church we love so much.
Your Ministerial Search Committee
