It is time to Rejoice!!
At last we are able to introduce you to the Pastoral Search Committee’s choice for the new Pastor at First Congregational Church in St. Clair. He is the Rev. Rob Hunter of Atlanta, Georgia. On Sunday June 6, 2010, Rev. Hunter delivered a message at our worship service, followed by a Congregational Meeting where members of First Congregational Church, UCC of St. Clair voted unanimously to select him as our new Pastor. After many months of searching and prayer, reviewing over 80 possible candidates, listening to sermons, conducting interviews by phone and in person, your Search Committee came to a unanimous conclusion.
As one of his references stated, “Rob Hunter is a true shepherd in every sense of the word, guiding people toward their potential in God and demonstrating His unconditional love. Rob is a leader, stirring motivation and commitment from those under his care. He is an excellent teacher of God’s Word, unfolding the truth of Scripture with relevant applications and insightful principles.”
We are confident that we will be energized and challenged by Rob’s preaching, learn and grow from his teachings, appreciate his quiet manner, thrive and grow under his leadership, as Rob and his wife Zully become members of this congregation and community.
Rev. Hunter began his ministry with us on Monday, July 5th with his first Sunday of worship July 11th.
The Pastoral Search Committee thanks you for your prayers and patience in this important journey.
