Pastoral Search
On March 4, Pastor Terry Sawatsky announced his intention to retire effective June 30, 2021. Though we will miss their presence and ministry, we send them forth with a blessing on their new life and work in Prince Rupert, BC.
Friends Community Church will be celebrating the completion of Pastor Terry’s and Cathy’s ministry among us and Terry’s retirement at the worship services on June 27. This is not only a time of looking back in celebration of a season of ministry completed, but it is also a time of looking forward in anticipation to the calling of a new pastor and a new season of ministry.
With Pastor Terry’s support and encouragement, the congregation is now in a process of prayer, seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit to prepare the heart of the person who God is calling to fulfill the role of Lead Pastor for such a time as this.
The search for a Lead Pastor announcement is being circulated throughout the MB Conference. The Pastoral Profile link appears below and interested candidates are invited to apply along with their resume to:
