Hello, church family,

As promised, we’d like to keep everyone updated on the progress of the elder discussion regarding the future direction of New Hope. Our latest meeting was last night, July 1, 2019, at 6:30 PM at the church.

About 15 couples and individuals chose to attend the meeting and there were comments and questions fielded for the first half of the meeting. This was followed by a private discussion among the elders regarding the latest version of the proposal for growth of the church and Tim and Kyle’s revised roles on the pastoral team (Tim as Senior Pastor and Kyle as Executive Pastor).

This latest proposal was voted on and approved for presentation to the congregation. It will be available this Sunday in paper format along with a schedule for review, including a Q&A meeting, culminating in a final vote of affirmation (likely in three weeks).

Dave Sporer shared at the conclusion of the meeting that after prayerful consideration with Kathy, he has respectfully decided to step down from the elder board and his resignation was accepted. The elders will announce this on Sunday to the congregation.

We continue to ask for your prayers and your trust as we work together to lead New Hope. We are sobered by the challenges ahead, but also hopeful about the opportunities.

The Elders
