Leadership Transition:  Running with Purpose

Hebrews 12: 1-3

Four important principles to remember during a transition

1. Run the race that is marked out for you - For us

2. Be aware of the sin that gets you so easily tangled up

3. Learn from those who have run the race before us

4. Lets keep our focus and stay on course

My personal race

What we as a leadership team have discussed so far:

1. We have used the symbol of a relay with the passing on of the baton.

2. The transition would be over a period of time. The timing has not yet been determined but we will be trying to do what is most helpful for the church.

3. We will get an outside consultant to help lead this process.

What would my future role be with Maple City Chapel?

1. I will take the role that the leadership team and I believe is the most helpful for the church.

What can the church expect from us?          

1. We will try to stay current with our communication about the transition process

2. We will process this decision in various layers as we have with past major decisions.

3. Each of you will be given a voice in the final decision.

What would we like from you?

1. Pray about this leadership transition process

2. Give us you Spirit led discernment and wise counsel along the way

3. Be patient with us - we have not gone this way before
