Nomination Request from the Congregation for the Office of Pastor at Redeemer
As you know, Pastor Toma is retiring on June 30, 2023. Bob Vogtmann is the chair of the Call Committee. The Call Committee’s purpose is to screen candidates for the Office of Pastor at Redeemer for Voters’ approval. The Call Committee is following its process that is consistent with Redeemer’s By-Laws and it uses the guidance of the PSW Call Document.
The Call Committee was formed in Aug 2021, when Pastor Toma initially announced his retirement. The retirement date was postponed until now. The Call Committee consists of 10 members. One step in the Call Process is to request nominations from the congregation for the Office of pastor, per Redeemer’s By-Laws, para 4.1.2.
If you want to nominate a candidate for the Office of pastor, please provide the following information.
- The candidate’s name
- The church the candidate is currently serving and the location of the church
- Why you think the candidate would be a good candidate for Redeemer
- Why you think the candidate would prayerfully consider a call from Redeemer
Send the nominations by email to rvogtmann1@socal.rr.com by February 26, 2023.
As the Call Committee completes the steps of the Call Process, you will be updated after the Sunday Worship Services, in Redeemer’s email and text messages, and in the Newsletter.
The Call Committee believes God places pastors where they need to be, and the Call Committee will follow the process. I request all of you to keep the Call Committee and the Call Process in your daily prayers.
