Search Committee
The search committee is a diverse group.  It includes long time members of the Episcopal Church and people who, while not Episcopalians, are faithful members of St. Gregory's.  The members also represent the diversity of the congregation.  They come from several different communities and some are second home owners in the area with their primary residence somewhere else.

The committee is co-chaired by:
   Michael Rogers     Pam Trippal

Other committee members are:
  Janet Baus       Harry Kirn
Margo Mcloone   John Workstus

About this Profile
To find out what parishioners seek in their next Rector, the search committee conducted two surveys.  The first, to all parishioners, was a modified version of the one page Ministry Specialties - Congregation Survey".  The second was pulled from the "Parish Survey Demonstration - Confidential Parish Profile Survey".  The committee modified section 4: the Ministry of Our Parish" to meet the needs of St Gregory's.  This was distributed to each group and also made available to anyone else who wanted to fill it out.

Once the committee had the results of these surveys, a 'World Cafe' was held during coffee hour. This is a series of small group discussions centering on the goals for St. Gregory's over the next 3-5 years and the attributes the groups wanted most in our next Rector.  The results of the surveys were posted to give the groups a starting place for their discussions.

Another source of input were comments and discussions between the committee members, the vestry, and the congregation.  Everyone was encouraged to take an active role and to 'be heard'.
