The Pastor Nominating Committee is delighted to announce that our candidate for Senior Pastor is the Reverend Goodie Bell. 

The PNC continues to work diligently and prayerfully on our search for our next Senior Pastor at Blacknall. Thank you for your patience and trust in this confidential process.

The Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) began meeting in December 2022 after the Transition Team completed Blacknall’s Mission Study. We created a Ministry Discernment Profile (MDP) and our search for a Senior Pastor began in the spring of 2023.

Since we began our search for our next Senior Pastor in December 2022, you have been praying. We are grateful; we have felt the Spirit’s guidance and encouragement every step of the way. We sense the Lord at work right now, and we yearn for the Spirit to keep moving. Would you join us in praying fervently in the coming weeks?

As we continue the work of discerning whom God is calling to be our next Senior Pastor, we have been grateful for your prayers and words of encouragement. We ask for your continued prayers for discernment as we meet with candidates, pray, and seek God’s wisdom and guidance.

In case you missed it last Sunday (2/25), we invite you to watch the update from the Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) presented by committee members Melissa Hartemink and Don Hoover.

We are continuing the work of discerning whom God is calling to be our next Senior Pastor. Thank you for your faithful prayers over the past year as we seek to faithfully move in step with God’s Spirit.

The Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) is continuing work on the search for our next Senior Pastor. As we work diligently on this search, we want to share with you that we have been unified in our work.

A few Sundays ago, PNC co-chair Michael Whisenhunt presented an update on our work. He shared that we expect our search to continue well into next year. We know that while many of you are eagerly awaiting the announcement and arrival of our next Senior Pastor, others among us feel encouraged that our church is thriving and are content to wait. While we all wait with varying emotions and expectations, please know that our goal remains to walk in step with God’s Spirit through this process.
