Exciting News!
On November 1, 2020, Dr. Steven Blinder began his journey with us as our Transitional Minister. Due to the pandemic, we waited to allow members to get to know him before making the position permanent.
After 6 months in the transitional role, we requested a congregational vote to appoint Steve as our permanent minister. We joyfully share the news that on Sunday, September 12, 2021, we celebrated Installation Sunday with him formally making Pastor Steve our new Minister.
