Congregational Meeting
2023-03-05 11:30 - 12:00 | Sanctuary, 538 Camino Manzanas, Thousand Oaks, CA, 91360
A little over two years ago our pastor Craig Williams resigned and David Anderson was called as our Designated Pastor. According to PCUSA polity, a Designated Pastor is assigned to a church for a period of at least two years and no more than four years. This generally gives a church space to find a new pastor. In our case, we could pursue the pastoral search process and find a pastor, or we could ask our Designated Pastor, David, to remain as our Called Installed Pastor. It is the feeling of Session that we all want David to remain and be our Called Installed Pastor and according to polity Session serves as the Nominating Committee. As such the Session unanimously voted to have David be our Called and Installed Pastor. That decision was submitted to the Presbytery and they voted to approve the Session’s decision. Our next step in this process is to have a Congregational Meeting so that you can vote to have David as our Called, Installed Pastor. That meeting will be on March the 5th immediately following the service.

"What's Your Story?" Workshop
2023-02-25 09:00 - 13:00 | Fireside Room, 588 Camino Manzanas, Thousand Oaks, CA, 93160, United States
Save the Date for a unique opportunity – we are hosting “What’s Your Story?” Project.
South African NGO Heartlines developed a project that would help ordinary South Africans tackle the divisions in society and promote understanding and reconciliation.
We live in world where division, fear, prejudice and racism plague us daily. These divisions undermine social and economic development, divide communities and families, and often lead to tension and violence.
For our collective futures we need to find simple ways for people of good will to actively bridge these divides. We believe that “What’s Your Story?” is one such way. Learn more here.
Sign up for the workshop at this link.
Watch a video here.
