Youth Minister Search Update
The search for a new youth minister is well under way! We have a search team of five adult members and three teen members, with assistance from Bruce Black. The team members are:

The team has formed a four-phase hiring process with the goal to have the new youth minister in place for the start of the 2008 – 2009 school year. The four phases are Attraction, Selection, Offer, and Orientation/Induction. We are currently in the Attraction phase, to develop a candidate list. We are casting a wide net to find many candidates from which a short list will be derived for the next phase. The team will provide periodic updates of our progress through the FSM Email Announcements and “live” communication in select Bible classes. However, direct any questions for the team to Steve Watkins. Please pray for the team’s search effort and for God to provide the right candidate to fulfill His will for the FSM.
