We're excited to announce the formation of the new Pastoral Leadership Team: Caleb Chou, Emily McCall and Dannielle Strassner. Beginning with their Installation on July 18-19, they will lead the church together in co-equal community to hold the mission and work of the church through shared discernment, equipping the whole body to practice pursuing God’s will together so we can all grow together in moving every person toward Jesus. 

• Sunday, May 10: Deadline to submit questions to be answered at the Q&R Events
• Sunday, May 17, 12:30pm - 2:00pm: Q&R 1 - lunch after service
• Sunday, May 19, 7:00pm - 8:30pm: Q&R 2 - dessert
• Sunday, May 31: Visit from David Hughes, our consultant/mentor from the Transforming Center
• Weekend of July 18-19: Installation of our new Pastoral Leadership Team (date/time details TBD)

Join us in getting ready for our new pastoral leadership by making sure that we understand the changes that are being made (and what is staying the same!) We've collected resources here to help remind you where we've already been in the transition, and to clarify where we're heading next as we install our new leaders in July.

• video & slides from Community Check In - to be loaded by Tuesday, April 28

After you've reviewed everything from Step 1, take some time to reflect with Jesus on all you've taken in. Ask yourself: What don’t I understand? What would help me understand it better? Here are some possible prompts to help form your clarifying questions:

• Could you give me more information about… ?
• What do you mean by…? 
• Can you be more specific about…? 
• Are you saying/Did you mean….?

Once formed, you can submit questions by May 10 with the red button below. The Transition Team and Pastoral Council will gather all submissions and respond together to the most commonly asked questions at the Q&R Events, listed below.

We'll be gathering all of your questions and prayerfully deciding together how best to respond to them at these Q&R Events. Plan to attend one of these gatherings to hear responses to the questions you asked...and probably some you didn't think to ask!

• Sunday, May 17, 12:30pm: Q&R 1 - lunch after service
• Sunday, May 19, 7:00pm: Q&R 2 - dessert

We don't anticipate being able to respond at these Q&R's to every question submitted! But, we will work to respond another way to those with less common questions.

We'll continue to update this page as we have more to share and invite you into. We'll also start working soon on Season 2 of the VCCLife Podcast, so stay tuned for that!
