Associate Pastor Nominating Committee

​The Associate Pastor Nominating Committee (APNC) was elected by the congregation in November 2017. The committee is tasked with searching for our next associate pastor. Occasional updates about the search process will be posted to this page. You can also view the Ministry Information Form (i.e., job description) crafted by the APNC and approved by Session and the Savannah Presbytery. Please pray for the APNC and for the candidate who God is calling to serve as the next associate pastor at St. Simons Presbyterian.

Interested in the Associate Pastor position?

St. Simons Presbyterian Church is a vibrant 500+ member PC(USA) congregation in the beautiful Golden Isles of Georgia. We are a diverse mix of people who are actively engaged in mission both locally and abroad, open to new ideas, and committed to growing in faith together through regular opportunities for learning and fellowship. Our next associate pastor will help lead our youth and mission programs as well as share in worship leadership, visitation, and other pastoral responsibilities with the senior pastor.

Updates from the APNC

February 11, 2018: 

​​In mid-November, the Associate Pastor Nominating Committee (APNC) was elected by the congregation and convened to begin the work of finding a new Associate Pastor for our church. First, we reviewed the recent Congregational Survey to prayerfully consider the input of church members in this process. Next, we used the results from the congregational survey this past fall to help create a job description that outlines the roles and responsibilities of this new position. The Session reviewed and approved the job description in mid-January. Last Tuesday members of the APNC presented the job description to the Savannah Presbytery, where it was approved to be posted on the denominational website. The official title for the role for which we are searching is an “Associate Pastor for Youth and Mission“. The job announcement is now public and can be seen above. The APNC will begin reviewing applications as they come in. We are also reaching out to pastors, seminary professors, and other leaders in the Presbyterian Church (USA) to share with them about our search and solicit recommendations for outstanding candidates. Please continue to pray for the committee as well as the person who God is calling to this ministry.

Sincerely,
​Members of the APNC (Michael Johnson, Anne Marie Stirewalt, Ellie Watkins, Greer Ward, Sean Hidalgo, Mary Bryson, Stephen George, Ellen Fleming)
