Recently, three of our religious education coordinators informed me of their plans for the future. Due to life changes and new opportunities Debbie Brinckman, Kathy Dahlem and Kara Nelson have decided not to continue their ministries at the end of this RE season. I am sad to hear of their decision but totally understand and support them in their future plans. I am deeply appreciative of their dedication and diligent ministry. They will be missed!
With these vacancies it has given us a healthy opportunity to look at the possibility of reorganizing the the RE staff structure. After much prayer and careful consideration we have decided to restructure the RE office with the following three positions: 1) Coordinator of Confirmation and Youth Ministry 2) Coordinator of PreK - Eighth Grades 3) Religious Education Manager.
The Coordinator of Confirmation/ Youth Ministry will be filled by the very faith-filled and competent Gina Raymond.
The two other new positions have been profiled (see below) and applications will be taken immediately.
