Staff Reviews

Sarah Dennis — Wed, 16 May 2012 19:48:19 +0000

The Personnel & Volunteers Committee is currently conducting evaluations of the church’s program
staff, (the Pastor, Associate Pastor, Coordinator of Christian Education and Director of Youth
Ministries). The evaluations are an effort to obtain feedback from the congregation regarding staff
members’ strengths and to identify opportunities for staff growth and improvement. The results
will be used solely to help program staff members improve the church’s ministry.
The Committee welcomes feedback from any member of the congregation who wishes to participate
in this process. Forms are available in the church office and at fredericksburgpc.org, and
should be returned to a Committee member or the church office by May 27. The Committee appreciates
your desire to help improve the church’s ministry.
