What is the Mutual Ministry team?
The Mutual Ministry Team is the human resources team for our ordained pastors. The team meets monthly with the pastors to engage in a deliberate listening process to celebrate the joys and assist in the challenges faced in the ministry. In addition, the team promotes healthy communication between members of the congregation and the pastors, especially when there are questions or concerns. Mutual Ministry conducts annual evaluations with the pastors in order to strengthen their ministry. Self care is always encouraged, along with accountability to the call of God to serve as pastor. The Church Council looks to the Mutual Ministry Team for recommendations that help the congregation care for their pastors, such as annual compensation recommendations and the recent affirmation of need for a sabbatical policy. Current members on the team are Susan Rowe, leader, Bob Gettier, Mike Comeau, Bill Collinge, and Bobbie Ellrich.
