Beginning the next church year, August 1, 2025, my church responsibilities will expand to include Adult Spiritual Development and next year will be called Adult Faith Formation. My title will also shift to Minister of Faith Formation to reflect this shift in my portfolio at First Church.
Rev. Dena and I are utilizing the next few months to review the history of the Adult Spiritual Development program and ensure that I can continue to support the current Adult Spiritual Development program and leaders, that includes Wellspring and other offerings. I am grateful and fortunate to have this time with Rev. Dena and with Adult Spiritual Development First Church leaders prior to her retirement transition.
As a former public-school teacher, my heart is that of an educator; I am excited and honored to work with the congregation leaders to find ways we can continue and center the spiritual growth and educational needs of our faith community as we work together to develop the Adult Faith Formation program at First Church.
With gratitude,
Rev. Kimberlee
