In 2021, a Transition Team was formed to fill a pastoral vacancy. As part of their work, they summarized KOG’s history and worked with the congregation to determine what lessons could be learned from their past. They also worked with the congregation to update values statements, articulate what the congregation aspires to become, and identify the qualities they seek in their next pastor.
