The applicant WPC welcomed to Springfield August 22 - 24 has accepted our invitation to candidate for the position of Associate Pastor for Family Ministry on Sunday, October 20. She will preach the sermon and following an affirmative vote by the congregation at a called meeting, she will begin Sunday, December 1, 2024. As a part of the Presbyterian Polity and in order to maintain confidentiality as she begins the transition from the congregation she is currently serving to Westminster, professional and personal information will not be shared until October 20. During their three-year search, the APNC reviewed 121 candidates, initiated contact with 40, interviewed 14 on Zoom and welcomed three at Westminster. The committee chaired by Krista Steller, with members Dr. Craig Batterman, Meleah Berkowitz, Emily Brower (through summer of 2023) Meridith Bryans, Kristianna Eastvold (since summer of 2023), Adam Ekstedt, Tom Owen, believe they have found the most qualified candidate who will bring wisdom, experience, authenticity and warmth to our congregation. She received accolades from the youth and staff with whom she met during her visit and the decision was unanimous. We look forward to introducing her and are filled with joy and gratitude for God’s faithfulness on this journey together. Hunger Ministries at Westminster
