Both, brother. It's largely the same position that is expected to have a different name and slightly more focused responsibilities as the Clergy bylaws are adopted.

If no one tell you I am, Atticus you are wonderful. I am glad we are in the same order! I am glad to serve with you . Now, ok so on top of the associate pastor position discription this "of out reach " gives a specific responsibility of position, added as we adjust correct? So that ... plus this correct ? Just for clarifation for my self. That's the way I'm reading it , was doing some meditation and that kinna coughs my spark.... please and thank you soooooo much Atticus.!!!!!



Edit
The reason I ask is there isn't multiple positions assistant for this assistant for that , or will there be?
Thanks again! And ... may the Force we share keep you and find you every where you look for it !

The job description Pastor Ros posted in the OP is pretty comprehensive. We're looking forward to what the expectations will be going forward, rather than what they have been in the past.

I shouldn't think so, just Outreach and Seminary. Down the road, who can say? But AFAIK there are no plans to add more Asst Pastors.

Also, thank you. I am happy to serve beside you as well.

2 candidates so far.
