On March 3, the Consolidation Core Team met at Hilltop Lutheran Church of the Ascension to continue organizing the work of the consolidation process. The team finalized task force areas and will begin inviting members from all three congregations to participate in these groups. The Core Team also approved a working mission statement to guide the process and discussed the importance of ensuring that our commitment to “welcoming all” reflects genuine inclusion.
“Rooted in the love of our Triune God, we are growing in faith-filled relationships, welcoming all, and living with compassion and generosity for our neighbors and the world.”
The next meeting will include a conversation with a representative from the Indiana-Kentucky Synod about the consolidation steps on April 14 from 6:30 to 8:00 PM at Hilltop Lutheran Church.
On February 3, the Consolidation Core Team held its first meeting at First English Lutheran Church. Team members from Hilltop, First English, and Gloria Dei introduced themselves and shared what they value most about their congregations, and the pastors reviewed the Indiana-Kentucky Synod’s steps for consolidation. The group also began organizing the work ahead by identifying roles and potential task forces to guide the process.
Our next meeting is on March 3 from 6:30 to 8:00 PM at Hilltop Lutheran Church.
