Parish Questionnaire

Hello from your Nominators; Elaine Ebsary, Emily Rawlings, Martyn Bullock, Rod Post and Ian Taylor.

The first part of the process of finding a new senior minister is completing a profile of our parish. This profile provides us and any potential candidates with information about who we are as a church and what we are looking for in a new senior minister. To help us in the process we ask that you will take some time to prayerfully reflect on these questions and provide us with your answers. We are looking forward to the future of our church and appreciate your responses. Please answer the questions below by Monday the 29 Feb (the day of our AGM) or click here and download the PDF.

Responses can be either:

i) emailed to us at nominators@barrenjoey.org

ii) downloaded and submitted on our church website

iii) placed in the box at the back of the church marked 'Parish Questionnaire for Nominators'

We would appreciate your continued prayers as we seek the right candidate to help lead us into the future
