Everything in our parish lives starts and evolves with our Clergy and their importance to the growth of our Orthodox faith. At this point, one goal, the Clergy Transition Plan, is preparing for its second review with the IHQ (Implementation Headquarters). Once approved by the IHQ, we will have a program intended to facilitate the transfer of our clergy and their families from parish to parish. Research has shown that the transferring of families to different communities places a great stress on our clergy and their families. All, of the issues involved in these moves will be covered with the completion of this goal (2.3) which should be ready for Fall 2017.

The two remaining Task Force Goals. 2.1 Clergy Development Program and 2.3 Clergy Evaluation, are still in progress. The importance of these two goals cannot be overestimated and the committee is prepared to take whatever time is necessary to properly complete these goals.
