The Rev. Rick Mihm Accepts Expanded Interim Pastor Role
On Sunday, August 30th during worship, we were excited to officially announce that The Rev. Rick Mihm has graciously accepted the call to serve as our part-time Interim Pastor, effective August 24, 2026. As part of this special moment in the life of our congregation, we gathered in prayer over Rick, asking for God’s guidance, wisdom, and blessing as he begins this expanded ministry with us.
This new role means you will be seeing Rick throughout the week and not just on Sunday mornings. Rick will hold regular office hours, provide pastoral care, lead worship preparation, assist with adult education, and offer spiritual and pastoral leadership as we continue moving forward together as a congregation.
In the spirit of transparency, Church Council also shared that Rick is considering the possibility of being presented to the congregation for a future vote to serve as our settled part-time pastor. As Rick continues to discern this possibility, this interim period provides an important opportunity for both Rick and our congregation to experience this expanded partnership, grow together in ministry, and prayerfully determine whether a longer-term call may be the right fit for our shared future.
Please join us in officially welcoming The Rev. Rick Mihm as our part-time Interim Pastor!
