As we walk through this important journey, we ask for your prayers and support for the Pastor Search Team. Their job is to understand God's plan for our church and find the person God is bringing to join and lead us. This process will include prayer, open discussions, and careful evaluation of candidates.
We believe that God will guide us to the right person who fits our mission and vision at Colonial. Your involvement during this time is crucial, and we encourage you to remain engaged and supportive as we navigate this transition together.
