Over 60 First Church folks joined Rev. Matthew Cockrum and the Support Team on Saturday, February 25, for the “Consulting with the Consultant” event. Gathered folks exchanged feedback about what they’ve appreciated and what could have gone better in the areas in which Matthew has ministered in the past year. Matthew shared similar impressions. Breakout groups ensued with planning and strategizing in four areas of church life: Adult Religious Education, Youth Ministry Leadership, Paths to Membership & Faith Formation, and Leadership Development & Volunteer Management. A full report (synopsis of the event with summaries of feedback from congregants and Rev. Matthew) is forthcoming. Stay tuned. Thanks for your support and participation!
