Press Release

From Middle PA District Executive Search Team

Recent Position Announcement

The Middle Pa District Executive Search Team is announcing exciting  new developments in their efforts to discern God’s will for leadership within the District.

A survey taken last year of District members indicated an openness to either a three-person leadership team, or a more conventional one-person staff. That original effort has not resulted in a strong call to the position

Therefore, the District Coordinating Team has re-evaluated the financial package they are offering for successful candidate(s), and are now able to offer a more attractive package.

The District Profile, and information on the new financial package are available through the Church of the Brethren Office of Ministry.
