Process & Rationale for Recommendation
Dear Brothers & Sisters of All Saints Presbyterian Church:
It has been my privilege to serve you in the capacity of leading our Pastor Search Committee (“PSC”). The men and women elected to comprise the PSC have been dedicated and faithful in executing the task at hand. Our time together was marked by mutual respect and growing friendships.
Most of all, I saw Christian people taking their job seriously and with the utmost of respect for the high calling of identifying the Senior Pastor candidate for our beloved church.
For some of you, our recommendation of Rev. Tim Frickenschmidt might first appear to be too obvious an outcome from this process. Rest assured that Tim was, in all ways, scrutinized more carefully than any other outside candidate. Tim invited this investigation. The Book of Church Order calls for a higher level of approval for an existing staff member. The PSC demanded it in the overall best interest of our congregation.
After 100’s of hours of consideration, prayer, analysis, conversation, and debate, it is with a unanimous vote of the PSC that we recommend Rev. Tim Frickenschmidt to be our Senior Pastor.
