Leadership Team Update
This is the first of many communications which the FBC leadership team (LT) intends to provide over the coming weeks as we consider the way forward further to Pastor Tim’s resignation.
The LT met on Monday 5 Dec (being Tim, Esther, Dave, Erin, Faye, Alan, Nicole, and Penny), plus (by invitation), Aaron (representing the Management Team) and Rachel Roche in her capacity as Kaitiaki/Regional Advisor for the Northern Baptist Association.
After prayer, Rachel led us through the LT responsibilities over the coming weeks including:
• A discussion about options for filling the gap between Tim’s departure and the appointment of the future leadership
• Setting up a search team in accordance with our constitution
• Calling the church to prayer
We also discussed how important it is that we are bringing new staff into as healthy a culture as we possibly can. For example, are there harmful matters in our past/present church that need to be addressed? Is this place a healthy work environment to bring a person into?
Our first task will be to finalise Tim’s last day with us, and then consider how we fill the gap between his departure and our future permanent leadership. Our next communication to you all will focus on this. Be in prayer whānau.
Faye and the Leadership Team
