Mission Review Survey Now On-Line
Please take a few minutes to click on the following link and complete the FPC Brooklyn Mission Review survey, which contains a series of questions designed to elicit your opinion on the critical attributes of the new Senior Minister, in relation to the church's needs, priorities and strongly held values. The survey results will be used to update the June 2007 Report of the Mission Review Committee, and then forwarded to the new Pastoral Nominating Committee as it works to recruit a new Senior Minister for our church.

Church Wide Nominating Committee (CWNC) seeks statements of interest from FPC members interested in serving on the new Pastoral Nominating Committee (PNC). The deadline for these statements was June 26th, 2009, but, although we have gotten a number of statements, we have not yet received enough to nominate a committee of nine members. As a result, we are extending the deadline through at least the end of August in the expectation that we will have a congregational meeting in the early fall to elect a new PNC. We will advise in subsequent announcements the specific new deadline for statements of interest. Please prayerfully consider taking up this service to the Church, with energy, discernment, listening ears and open hearts.
If you are interested in serving, please contact any current committee member: Jon Abernethy, Chair, Bernice Adorno, Nate Dudley, Marta Nelson, Sam Murumba, or Kimbirly Mack by emailing them at fpc124@aol.com.
