A very important update on the Transformation pastoral search process. The search process turned out to be quite extensive. The Pastoral Search Committee, made up of Randy Coates, Hannah Chun, Mary Kirkpatrick, Kaija Skalesky, Johnathan Wilson, Iassac Veurink and Gary Macsemchuk, met 8 times to go through the many resumes that were received via email. Twenty-four candidates applied from seven different countries, with the Pastoral Search Committee interviewing two promising candidates via zoom. After prayerful consideration the Search Committee then presented the names of two candidates to the Transformation board.

The Transformation Board then met 7 times, looked over all the information that was gathered, worked up interview questions and finally interviewed the two candidates for the position of Lead Pastor. One candidate was from Thunder Bay and the other candidate traveled from Eastern Ontario. After prayerful consideration of all the interview information, one candidate was invited by the board to present to the Transformation Members and Congregation.  On Sunday May 11^th I was pleased to announce that Jeremy Darrow was the successful candidate and has been invited to make a presentation to you on Sunday May 25^th! On that day an affirmation vote will take place after Jeremy speaks.

Blessings!

Gary Macsemchuk
