Episode 227: Our Response to the COG General Director Update

Standard

Monday, April 15th, 2024.  Pastors in the Church of God movement were updated on the General Director search.  In 2023, the Ministries Council sent out a survey to Church leaders to help them figure out the pulse of the movement as the search committee looks for the next General Director.  The results from that letter give insight into the mindset, views, and objectives for this search moving forward.

In this episode, Scott and Micah discuss the findings and give our insights and the insights of other pastors as we break down the letter and the survey summary.
