SPRC Report for June Council Meeting

Report of Staff-Parish Relations Committee to Church Council, June 16, 2014

     The SPRC is grappling with staffing changes brought about by

2) Church financial constraints.
3) Staff termination, transfers, and resignation.

2)      Youth Ministry Coordinator.  Hired Abbey Cole.  Transition and partial salary month of June, full compensation from July 1
3)      Senior Adult Ministries Coordinator.  Interviews June 16. Three candidates.
4)      Children’s Ministries Coordinator.  VonWalds will serve through July 31 (will administer VBS).  Applications are being sought.  A task force is being formed to process the search and deal with interim needs.

Annual evaluations will be submitted to staff members in June.

The SPRC is looking into standards and procedures to guard against personal injuries at church.

The Trustees are looking into repair and refurbishing needs of the second parsonage which will be occupied by Abbey Cole and her husband David.
